B. False

Answer (3)

True, representation in Parliament was a major reason why the colonists were upset with England. However, another major issue of contention was the issuing of taxes by the British on the colonies. The issue of taxation and representation were tied to one another. But the colonists when they sought independence made the decision that representation was not going to come and that it was necessary to demand the creation of a country of their own.

The correct answer is A. True. The colonists were upset with England largely because they had no representatives in Parliament, and this lack of representation was linked to issues like taxation and governance, leading to their demand for independence.
