Correct answer choice is:

D) American merchants were bankrupted, sailors were put out of work, and farmers were unable to sell their crops.

Explanation:

The Embargo Act of 1807 was an effort by President Thomas Jefferson and the U. S. Congress to prevent American crafts of selling in international gates. It was assigned to beat England and France for opposing American enterprise while the two main European authorities were at battle with each other. The restriction was accelerated originally by Napoleon Bonaparte's 1806 Berlin Decree, which declared that unbiased ships taking British-made assets were controlled to capture by France, thus revealing American ships to strikes by pirates.

Th correct answer to the question above is (a.) The British stopped the practice of taking American sailors. The British stopped the practice of taking American sailors as a result of Jefferson's embargo. Jefferson's embargo was to force Britain to respect the American rights during the war.
