Answer:
D. It called together delegates to devise a response to British taxes.
Explanation:
"Meeting of delegates from most of the colonies held in Philadelphia in 1774 in response to the British efforts to tax the colonies.
Most of the delegates who came to Philadelphia agreed that Parliament had no right to tax the colonies without their consent. The delegates also sought unified opposition to the British treatment of Boston. However, few were ready for a break with Britain. The Virginians wanted to continue to export tobacco, and South Carolina depended on the export of rice and indigo. Finding common ground was not easy. But the delegates did gain experience working together, even when they argued—which they did a lot.
There was little talk of war or independence at the 1774 gathering."
