The correct answer would be "b", John Henry.

He was one of the first opponents of the British rule in the New World. He lived in the 13 colonies in North America, ruled by the British Crown. The people, including John Henry, became discontent with the way the Crown ruled the colonies, including the way they imposed high taxes on goods they produced.
