[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

No, the correct answer is C.) It left the British with a large debt burden, which led to heavy taxation of the colonists. The French and Indian War, also known as the Seven Years' War, resulted in a significant financial burden for the British Empire. To alleviate this debt, the British government imposed various taxes on the American colonies, such as the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Townshend Acts. These taxes created resentment among the colonists, leading to protests and eventually sparking the American Revolution. By opposing the excessive taxation and asserting their rights, the colonists sought to gain independence from British rule.
