Stamp act was the name of the new tax that was imposed on all American colonists and required them to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used. So the correct option in regards to the given question is option "C". The Stamp Act was imposed on the people of the colonies in the year 1765. The Stamp Act was highly unpopular among the people living in the colonies. They felt that it was a direct violation of their rights and it should be protested as their consent was not taken before imposing such a tax. Not only the British colonists, but several merchants also opposed this tax.
