    D. They tarred and feathered the customs officer, forced them to drink tea and dumped tea off the ships.

    Explanation:

    This incident occurred following Boston Tea Party which was organized on December 16, 1773.

    This demonstration was against the tax imposed by Britain to financially aid East India Company.

    The Tea Act proposed selling of the surplus tea held in the warehouses of British colonies.

    This would yield money needed by the company to maintain its troops which was necessary to continue to have control on its acquired regions.

    The tea was prevented from being landed and destroyed on its way.

    The answer is : They tarred and feathered the Customs Officer, forced them to drink tea and dumped tea off the ships. The pre-American Revolution satire published in London shows John Malcolm, British customs agent in Massachusetts, tarred, feathered, and forced to drink tea. This event happened right after the Boston Tea party (December 16, 1773) where colonists famously dumped imported tea into the harbor to protest a tax levied by the British Parliament.
