Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most accurate choice is A, or treason, as the actions taken by the revolutionaries could have been considered a betrayal of the British government and monarchy. This was a serious offense at the time and could have resulted in severe punishment, including imprisonment, fines, or even death. The revolutionaries were aware of this risk but believed in their cause and were willing to take the risk to gain independence.
