B. An agreement to boycott all British imports and stop exporting to Britain and its colonies

This is the closest answer. The Continental Association was a response to the Intolerable Acts in an attempt to have it repealed. The goal was to create enough hardship for Britain that they would be persuaded to repeal the Acts.
