Prior to 1763, the British government generally followed a policy of salutary neglect towards the American colonies because it:

a) wished to secure the loyalty of the colonies

I think it is B but i think it could also be A

  i thought since they were fighting wars they didn't have a well organized imperial system

Fighting wars takes a very well organized imperial system.
