what british action angered many american colonists in the years before the american revolution?
a. removing all british soldiers from the colonies
b. forcing colonists to settle in western north america
c. passing new taxes on sugar and tea
d. declaring war on france and spain

Explanation:

Before the American Revolution, the British imposed new taxes like the Sugar Act and the Tea Act on the American colonists. These taxes angered the colonists who had no representation in the British - Parliament and led to growing resentment. Removing soldiers would not anger colonists, forcing them to settle west was not a major pre - Revolution grievance, and declaring war on France and Spain did not directly anger the colonists.

Answer:

C. Passing new taxes on sugar and tea
