The correct answer is B) By intimidating and sometimes attacking agents responsible for enforcing British policies.

In the mid-1760s, American colonists responded to the British government's imposition of taxes on consumer items, such as sugar and paper, through political means and by direct action, including all of the following responses except for "By intimidating and sometimes attacking agents responsible for enforcing British policies."

American colonists reacted in different ways to the heavy taxation of the British crown such as by calling for revolution and demanding American independence, by calling a congress to debate Britain's right to pass legislation and impose taxes on the American colonies, and by organizing a boycott of British goods.

Indeed the First Continental Congress was held in 1774 in reaction to the Coercive Acts imposed by the English because colonists had resisted to new taxation. That First Continental Congress was the form of government of the American colonies. The Second Continental Congres was held once the Revolutionary War had started. It was installed in 1776 and served to sign the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
