The correct answer is A. The passage of the Stamp Act inspired resentment toward the British government.

Explanation:

The Stamp Act or Duties in American Colonies Act 1765 was passed by the English Parliament in 1765, stating that all documents in circulation in the American colonies should receive stamps from the metropolis. The Stamp Act stipulated that all newspapers, books and documents published in the colonies should pay a fee, which meant more expenses for the settlers. It was repealed in 1766.

The Stamp Act was sanctioned by the London government on March 22, 1765, with the approval of the British Parliament, to raise funds to pay off debts and defend territories conquered by France in the French and Indian War.

Realizing that the costs of complying with the Stamp Act (containing revolts) exceeded the gains in the colonies, the British government decided to repeal it in the succeeding year. Despite this, the law eventually reinforced movements against the British government and in favor of independence.
