The Intolerable Acts were a series of laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. They were called "intolerable" by the American colonists because they severely limited their rights and freedoms, such as closing the port of Boston, banning town meetings without government approval, and allowing British soldiers to be housed in private homes without consent. The correct choice is D, as the Intolerable Acts are also commonly known as the Coercive Acts.
