Which of the following was a provision of the Navigation Acts?

A) All foreign goods bound for the colonies will be shipped by way of England.
B) Colonial products sold to foreign nations must be transported in the purchasing nation's ships.
C) Goods exported from the colonies to foreign nations will be subject to an export tax.
D) Colonial industries that produce certain goods will be subsidized by the British government.

The Navigation Acts were a series of laws passed by the British Parliament that regulated trade between England and its colonies. One of the key provisions was that goods being shipped to and from the colonies had to go through England, ensuring that England benefited from colonial trade both as a market and as an intermediary. This was meant to bolster the mercantile system, where the mother country controlled the trade of its colonies to its own advantage.
