The answer is B- French and Indian War. Great Britain spent so much money to win the war which may be the reason on why it did that afterwards it was so broke and in debt. So King George the third started with the Proclamation of 1763 which forbade colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. He did this because Natives had started killing settlers and killed almost 2,000 of the ones settling there. He could not afford to send more troops so he issued the proclamation and then eventually issued taxes like the Sugar Act. He did this so Britain can get out of its debt and no longer be broke. The taxes only affected the colonies because in England they were considered only subjects and not citizens since they were not born and did not live in England. So that is why those Acts only applied to them. This angered the colonists and eventually these Acts and the Boston Massacre lead to the American Revolution.
Hope this helps!
