Detailed explanation-1: -Complete answer: Option C: In 1774, the coercive Acts of 1774 were also known as the Intolerable Acts in the American colonies. These coercive act comprised of a series of four laws to punish Boston for the Boston Tea Party, by the British Parliament.
Detailed explanation-2: -The act authorized the Royal Navy to blockade Boston Harbor because “the commerce of his Majesty’s subjects cannot be safely carried on there."1 The blockade commenced on June 1, 1774, effectively closing Boston’s port to commercial traffic. Additionally, it forbade any exports to foreign ports or provinces.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Coercive Acts (called the Intolerable Acts by the colonists) included a new Quartering Act that provided arrangements for housing British troops in American dwellings. It revived the anger that colonists had felt regarding the earlier Quartering Act (1765), which had been allowed to expire in 1770.
