Explanation:

The Salutary Neglect policy was a long - standing British approach of loose enforcement of trade and other laws in the American colonies. After the French and Indian War, British war debts led to a reassessment of this policy. New taxes and more strict regulations were imposed on the colonies, which angered the colonists and was a major factor leading to the American Revolution. Option A is about the French Revolution, B is about Native American tribes and not directly related to the American Revolution trigger, and C is about a territorial transfer and not a direct cause of the American Revolution.

Answer:

D. British war debts forced a reassessment of the Salutary Neglect policy.
