Answer 1

Answer:

It resulted in a tax being placed on colonists to help pay for the war.

Option: (B)

Explanation:

• The 'French and Indian War' that eventually culminated in the British victory helped the British secure immense territorial gains.

• But despite having won the war, the British suffered the costs of war for a long time even after the war was over.

• To incur the cost of war, the British Council imposed new and unreasonable taxes on the 'colonists' which gradually led to increasing resentment among the colonists and finally culminated in the 'American Revolution'.
