Answer

Brief Explanations:

The text mentions that the colonists have appealed to the British brethren (who could be seen as related to Parliament in a sense) about the legislature's actions. It shows that the colonists did not find support or justice from them (implied as not being sympathetic). Option B is refuted as the text says "they too have been deaf to the voice of justice".

Answer:

B. Most British Parliament members sympathize with the plight of the American colonies.
