a. they burned crates of british tea along dorchester bay.
b. they made american indians destroy the british tea.
c. they forced the british tea ships to return to britain.
d. they boarded british ships and dumped tea into the harbor.

Explanation:

The Tea Act led to the Boston Tea Party, where colonists (disguised as Native Americans) boarded British tea ships and dumped tea into Boston Harbor. Option A is incorrect as they dumped, not burned, along Boston (not Dorchester) Harbor. Option B is incorrect as they disguised themselves, not made Native Americans do it. Option C is incorrect as they didn't force ships to return. Option D accurately describes the Boston Tea Party.

Answer:

D. They boarded British ships and dumped tea into the harbor.
