Solution

The correct option is D Protest against the policies of the British
The first American Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia. It consisted of delegates from all the colonies except Georgia. Their agenda was to protest against the laws and policies of the British. Next, the American colonists signed a petition and sent it to the King of England, who sent a military force to suppress them. This led to a war between England and its American colonies.
