The correct answer is A. At the First Continental Congress, it was decided to call for a boycott of all British imports.

Explanation:

On September 5, 1774, representatives of the assemblies of the colonies met in Philadelphia. The dilemma facing Congress was not simple because it had to show firmness before the British Government and, in turn, had to curb the independence wishes of the Sons of Liberty, which alarmed the conservative sectors, more likely to reach an agreement with the Crown.

Congress passed a Declaration of Rights and Grievances addressed to the people of Great Britain and the colonies, and also approved a petition to the king. Both documents recognized Parliament's right to regulate foreign trade but defended the right of the colonies to manage their own internal affairs without the intervention of the imperial government.

It was also decided to declare a trade boycott against the metropolis. Starting December 1, 1774, both the purchase of English goods and the sale of American goods to the British were prohibited. This decision was a response to the blockade of Boston by the English fleet. It was also decided to convene a second Continental Congress on May 10, 1775.
