Explanation:

The French and Indian War (1754 - 1763) left Britain with a large debt. To pay this debt, Britain changed its policy towards American colonists and imposed new taxes on them. The War of Jenkins' Ear was mainly between Britain and Spain and not directly related to American - tax policies. The Battle of Lexington and Concord and the beginning of the American Revolution came after the tax - related tensions had already escalated.

Answer:

B. the French and Indian War
