Option B

Explanation:

The Mutiny (or Quartering) Act of 1765 was regarded by objecting colonists as a form of taxation without consent.

The Quartering Act of 1765 required the colonies to house British soldiers in barracks provided by the British and also to provide food, drink, transportation to British forces stationed in their areas. This leads to contends among the Americans because this act violate the Bill of Rights of 1689 because they were being taxed to pay for provisions and barracks for the army.
