The correct answer is "Salutary Neglect". Salutary Neglect refers to a period of time during the 17th and 18th century when the English government relaxed its control over the American colonies, allowing them more freedom in terms of trade and economic activity. This lack of strict enforcement of trade restrictions enabled the colonies to engage in more productive economic activities and trade with other nations.
