Hi!

The answer to your question would be option B. enabled the Americans to pursue greater political independence.

Explanation:

Prime minister Walpole was criticized for having a more relaxing political approach towards the colonies. However, this new approach gave americans a sense of what it would be like to be free of their oppressors and have full control of their lives, so this change inspired people from the colonies to press for more political independence, and it eventually ended up leading to their freedom.
