Which part of the cycle of empires would be affected by persecuting a group of people in your empire?

loyalty

maintain an army

finding land

The answer would be loyalty. It is hard to loyal to a Empire if the Empire is actively attacking your identity.

the navigation act prevented the colonies from exporting to countries other than britain and it prevented the importation of goods by other countries as well. so i believe the correct answer is d. other nations could not deliver goods to the colonies.

hope this .

d is the correct answer
