Option C makes no sense, but the answer is B. The Proclamation of 1763 did that ten years before the Boston Tea Party.
The Boston Tea Party was a direct action by the Boston colonists. Boston a town in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the Great Britain Government and the monopolistic East India Company that controlled all the tea imported into the colonies. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and other political protests often refer to it.
The Boston Tea Party took place in Boston Harbor, which is part of the Atlantic Ocean and not on a river. The rivers that empty into the Boston Harbor include the Charles River and the Mystic River.
