The resentment of British mercantilism among the colonists stemmed from feeling restricted in their ability to freely trade and make their own goods. So, the answer is:
A. making their own goods and selling them to other countries.
British mercantilist policies aimed to control colonial trade, ensuring that raw materials were sent to Britain and finished goods were purchased from Britain, limiting the colonies' economic independence and ability to engage in free trade with other nations.
