    The correct answer is C. To gain more control over the colonists

    Explanation:

    The Intolerable Acts were a set of coercive laws imposed to the colonies in 1773 and 1774, these were issued by the British Parliament in response to the rebellions and opposition of the colonies to previous acts such as the Tea Act that raised the taxes on the colonies. This implies the main purpose fo the Intolerable Acts was to punish protests and opposition and to gain control over the colonists as the British government was defied. However, this just led to more opposition and triggered the American Revolutionary War.
