he started armed conflicts and kept soldiers in the colonies during peacetime.
he required all colonial men to register for the british army when they turned 18.
he sent the british navy to protect colonial merchant ships in international waters.

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: The text does not mention colonists being forced to fight in Europe, so this is incorrect.
2. Analyze Option 2: The text says "kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies" and "quartering large bodies of armed troops among us", which matches the idea of keeping soldiers in the colonies during peacetime. Also, the actions imply unjust military presence, which can be seen as starting conflicts (or at least unjust military actions) and keeping soldiers in peacetime.
3. Analyze Option 3: There is no mention of registering for the British army at 18, so this is incorrect.
4. Analyze Option 4: The text is about grievances, and sending the navy to protect ships is not a grievance but a positive action, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. He started armed conflicts and kept soldiers in the colonies during peacetime.
