Answers
The correct answer to the question is option A. They were protesting against the Stamp Act, passed by the British parliament in 1765.
‘Sons of Liberty’ was a secret, political organisation set up in Boston, United States, in the same year, to fight for the rights of American colonists and against taxation imposed by the British government, such as the Stamp Act.
The founders of this organisation were Samuel Adams and John Hancock.
Option A is the right answer.
Direct taxes on newspaper, wills and permits that were imposed by the British led to boycotts and a group of delegates to meet to determine how to protest it. "Sons of Liberty" in North American colonies formed a group in acknowledgement to the Stamp Act. They launched a unified protest against the new Stamp Act( which taxed on everything that had anything to do with paper, a stamp was given in return to this).
