Answer:
I believe the correct answer would be C. the colonists benefit from being part of the British empire.
Explanation:
This is because the Americans were classified as two different groups: Patriots and Loyalists. The Patriots were all for American freedom, they wanted to control their own future and didn't want to be bossed around by the British who were far overseas. The Loyalists were loyal to King George III and believed that there was no reason to want to separate because Great Britain was their protection from other unwanted nations.
