People of South Carolina responded to the formation of the Sons of Liberty by forming one of the most active groups, using violence and threats to protest British policies.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Sons of liberty was an action taken by all the colonies which were under the control of the British. This step was to protest against the Stamp act that was started by the colonist British under which the colonies had to pay taxes even if they did not even wish to.

The Sons of liberty was one of the most famous groups formed in the colony of South Carolina where some people called themselves the Sons of liberty and became violent to protest against the policies of the British.
