Solution

The correct option is A 16 December 1773
The high tax levied by the British government on tea resulted in strong protest in America. On 16 December 1773, a group of people disguised as Red Indians, boarded the ships at night in the Boston Harbour and threw 342 chests of tea into the sea. This protest is known as the Boston Tea Party.
