Correct answer: B. Patrick Henry proposed the Virginia Stamp Act Resolves, which, along with other attacks on the Crown, gained him popularity within the colonies.

Explanation: The Virginia House of Burgesses was normally a very conservative group of plantation owners. But as a new member of that group, in 1765, Patrick Henry took advantage of a day when many conservative leaders were not in attendance, and proposed resolutions that challenged the authority of British Parliament over against the colonies.
