The Proclamation of 1763 was more of a temporary change as it aimed to restrict the colonists from expanding westward beyond the Appalachian Mountains. The Quebec Act of 1774, on the other hand, represented a permanent change as it extended the boundaries of Quebec and granted rights to French Canadians. Neither policy was acceptable to the colonists as they wanted a continuation of the old policies, making option D the best choice.
