The correct answer is The British closed ports to punish the colonies.

The British government closed the Boston port to trade after the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was when a group of American colonists, dressed like Mohawk Indians, boarded British ships and destroyed millions of dollars worth of tea as a means to protest the Tea Act and the monopoly that the British East India Company had on the American colonists.

The British government was outraged when this happened and implemented the Coervice Acts as punishment. One of the most significant punishments was the closing of the Boston Harbor.
