Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There's no historical evidence England forced colonists to farm new land for independence motivation.
• Option B: After the 1763 Treaty of Paris, England issued the Proclamation of 1763, which prohibited colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains (the new land). This restriction angered colonists who wanted to expand, fueling independence desires.
• Option C: The treaty's terms didn't involve allowing Spain to build missions in English - gained land as a cause for independence.
• Option D: England didn't give the new land back to the French; the treaty ended the French - Indian War with England gaining from France.

Answer:

B. England would not allow the colonists to settle in the new land.
