Solution

The correct option is B The dumping of 340 tea crates into the sea
The British parliament passed the Tea Act which permitted the East India Company to sell tea directly to colonies. The colonists refused to permit the unloading of tea. A number of Americans disguised as porters boarded the ships and threw 340 crates of tea into sea. This event is referred to as the Boston Tea Party.
