Correct

b. Colonists began to ignore the governors appointed by the king and set up their own conventions and committees

Explanation:

America was a colony of the British that was setup to govern themselves while paying alligence to the throne. Due to the nature of the colony, there was never any specific constitution guiding them. They governors appointed by the people where being ignored by the colonist leading to more crises.

These crises of people rebelling due to interference of the colonist led to the collapse of the American government.
