B. These Americans had very close ties to the king.
C. These Americans wanted to remain part of the British Empire.
D. These Americans did not feel ready to govern themselves.

A

Explanation:

In the early days of America, when it was just beginning to be colonized and explored, many of the colonies relied relatively heavily on the British empire to provide them with certain goods. These often came with a hefty price tag in the form of taxes, especially after a war that had left Britain deep in debt. However, the United States was still a much smaller and less powerful country than Britain, and any attempts to fight would likely result in a worse situation for all Americans. Therefore, the best answer here would be choice A. Hope this helps!
