Respuesta :

The correct answer is letter B

In this case all the other options were part of the War for Independence in the US.

US Independence was a direct result of the divergence of interests that existed between the metropolis (England) and the Thirteen Colonies. In the second half of the eighteenth century, England's policy on the Thirteen Colonies changed dramatically, and this displeased the colonists, motivating them to rebel against England.

The first relevant point to be made is that during the seventeenth century England had ceased to be an absolutist monarchy, becoming a constitutionalist parliamentary monarchy, in which the bourgeoisie, through Parliament, controlled the country. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, this bourgeoisie had an interest in the expansion of industry and therefore sought new sources of raw materials and new consumer markets.
