Answer:
I believe the answer is E. the Albany Plan
Explanation:
First, I want to say that this could be a trick question. The Sugar Act was passed in 1764, the Quartering Act in 1765, the Proclamation of 1763 (obvious), and the Writs of Assistance in 1763. The trick to this is that the Albany Plan was passed in 1754 and not in the 1760s.
Here is my logical explanation:
The Sugar Act was a tax on things such as sugar, certain wines, coffee, pimiento, cambric printed calico, and more. It was used to raise revenue. Obviously, people will oppose taxes, especially ones by the British Parliament.
The Quartering Act told that the people would have to provide shelter for soldiers and would have to take care of them. This would seem bad to some. This was later opposed.
The 1763 Proclamation prohibited colonists from settling on lands acquired from the French following the French and Indian War and they could not move west. People were unhappy with this and protested against it.
The Writs of Assistance were documents which served as a general search warrant, allowing customs officials to enter any ship or building that they suspected for any reason might hold smuggled goods. Obviously, a big no.
The Albany Plan was a plan to create a unified government for the Thirteen Colonies. This plan failed because the people were afraid of losing their self-government abilities. I'm not sure if it was actually resented, but it was less of a threat than the other four options and it was not made in the required timeline.
