D

Explanation:

Both triggered acts of resistance in other colonial cities and took place after Bostonians failed to turn away ships laden with tea.

The Boston Tea Party was a colonial protest to Britain, that is considered to be the antedecedent to the Americans patriots fighting for independence. In this protest, Bostonians were angry at Britain for imposing taxes without representation, so, disguised as indians, they threw a really big amount of tea chests, imported by the British East India Company to the sea, as an act of protest, which then triggered acts of resistance in other colonial cities.
