    A) Natural rights such as life, liberty, and property

    Explanation:

    When the British imposed taxes on the colonies without consent, they were infringing the natural right to private property. Because a tax is a extraction of privately earned and owned resources, doing so without consent is infringing this right.

    When the British maintained a standing army without consent they were infringing the natural right to liberty because soldiers could not decide to leave, and the right to life because soldiers could get killed.
