britains response to the boston tea party was to do what?
punish the boston colonists economically
place a tax on tea
ban the transport of tea from the colonies
form the sons of liberty

Explanation:

After the Boston Tea Party (1773), Britain enacted the Coercive Acts (later called Intolerable Acts) which included closing Boston Harbor, imposing strict economic restrictions on the city to punish colonists for destroying British tea. The tea tax predated the Tea Party, banning tea transport from colonies was not the response, and the Sons of Liberty were a colonial group, not a British action.

Answer:

punish the Boston colonists economically
