In the 1760s, American colonists responded to Parliament’s taxes in several ways. Which way was most effective?

Widespread boycotts of British goods were especially effective because they caused British merchants to lose sales and pressure Parliament to reconsider its taxes. Colonial legislators’ formal demands had less direct economic impact, colonists could not vote in Parliament, and violence was less broadly effective and could provoke harsher responses. The best answer is widespread boycotts of British goods.
