Question

what did the british do under the quartering act?
a replaced elected leaders with british military officers
b tried officials for crimes in england instead of in the colonies
c shut down boston harbor until the tea was paid back
d took buildings away from colonists to house british troops

Explanation:

The Quartering Act required colonists to provide housing (including taking buildings from colonists) for British troops. Option A is about replacing leaders (not related to Quartering Act), Option B is about trial of officials (related to another act like the Administration of Justice Act), Option C is about closing Boston Harbor (Intolerable Acts/Coercive Acts after Boston Tea Party). So the correct action under the Quartering Act is taking buildings from colonists to house British troops.

Answer:

D. took buildings away from colonists to house British troops
