Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
In 1763, the British administration of colonial America was indeed lax, often referred to as "salutary neglect," where the colonies were left to govern themselves with minimal interference from Britain. This period allowed the colonies to develop their own political, economic, and social systems somewhat independently.
