c. by creating laws that made acquiring land difficult

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence lists grievances against the British king, including actions that hindered colonial population growth. Restricting land acquisition via laws made it hard for colonists to establish households, expand settlements, and support larger families, which directly limited population growth. The other options are not cited in the document's relevant grievances.

C. By creating laws that made acquiring land difficult
