Explanation:

The Tea Act of 1773 gave the British East - India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies, which disadvantaged local merchants. It did not prevent colonists from buying tea, nor did it close the port of Boston or force merchants to buy tea from Africa.

Answer:

It favored a British company over merchants.
