Britishers passed a Quartering Act which flamed the anger of American Colonists.

Explanation:

The Quartering Act was passed by Parliament on March 24, 1765. According to this act, it was mandatory for American Colonists to provide British soldiers with barracks and supplies. If the barracks provided by Colonists would be small to contain all the soldiers, they were to be provided inns, alehouses, livery stables, etc.

The act was passed to increase their revenue cost in American Colonies. The thing that triggered the colonists was not to provide housing for the soldiers but the heavy taxes it imposed on them.

So, the correct answer is the action of passing the Quartering Act flamed anger in American Colonists.
