The correct answer is C) Thomas Jefferson.
The prominent American that suggested setting aside a day to mark the shame of the intolerable acts was Thomas Jefferson.
The intolerable acts were passed in 1774 by the English Parliament as a punishment for the Tea Party incident, in which colonists from Massachusets threw tea boxes over the sea, as a way to protest against the British government. Of course, these intolerable acts angered the American colonists and were one of the reasons to start the Revolutionary War in 1775, to demand independence from the English crown.
