In the 1760s, American colonists responded to Parliament's taxes in several ways, but one of the most effective methods was:

C. Widespread boycotts of British goods.

The colonists engaged in non-importation agreements and boycotts, refusing to buy British goods as a form of protest against the imposed taxes, such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. Economic pressure through boycotts had a significant impact on British merchants and manufacturers, making it one of the more effective means by which the colonists expressed their opposition to taxation without representation.
