Explanation:

The Coercive Acts (Intolerable Acts) after the Boston Tea Party closed Boston Harbor. They also withdrew the colony's right to self - govern (placed it under British control). Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: The Coercive Acts were not just about higher taxes and had many other changes, so this is wrong.
• Option 2: They did not just limit the self - governance right but withdrew it, so this is wrong.
• Option 3: Boston Harbor was closed, not kept open, so this is wrong.
• Option 4: This option correctly states that Boston Harbor was closed and the colony's right to govern itself was withdrawn.

Answer:

D. They closed Boston Harbor and withdrew the colony’s right to govern itself. (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D in order. If the original options have different labels, adjust the label accordingly while keeping the option text.)
