Answer:

A. To avoid conflict with Britain by appealing to the King about their complaints

Explanation:

The Lexington and Condord events triggered a new gathering of colonists: On May 10, the Second Colonial Congress met. Among the members of this gathering radicals were prevailing. Members of Congress decided last time to try to solve the problem peacefully: they sent the King an "Olive Branch Petition". When the petition was rejected and the Prohibitory Act arrived in response to the British government, the last reasons for loyalty to the British crown disappeared.
