The correct option is A. The Stamp Act of 1765 was significant in the sense that it was the first direct tax imposed on American colonists. It was an Act of Parliament of the Great Britain. The major reason why this Act was put in place was to provide funds to take care of the troops stationed at the North America after the British victory in the seven years' war.
