The correct answer is A) It caused frustration when Great Britain began enforcing stricter taxation policies.

Salutary neglect led colonists to rebel against Great Britain in that it caused frustration when Great Britain began enforcing stricter taxation policies.

In colonial America times, salutary neglect was the series of policies imposed by the English crown to its 13 colonies during the 17th and 18th centuries in order to enforce the laws emanated by the British Parliament that wanted to exert more control over the colonies.

Of course, American colonists never liked those laws and impositions. They were heavily taxed by the English government but they had no voice or representation in the British Parliament. Colonists coined a quote that said: "Taxation, without representation, is tyranny." And those taxes and laws were big causes of the Revolutionary War.
