Answer

The colonies grew richer.
B
The colonies traded with countries other than Britain.
C
The colonies become less independent.

Explanation

Salutary neglect was Britain's loose enforcement of trade rules in the colonies. With fewer restrictions, colonial economies grew richer, and colonists traded with countries other than Britain. The colonies also became more accustomed to governing themselves, so they did not become less independent.
