Answer
A
a tax on non-British goods
B
a prohibition on deliveries by non-British ships
C
a requirement for goods to be shipped through a British port
D
a discount on goods bought and sold within the colonies

Explanation

The Navigation Acts were designed to strengthen English control over colonial trade. They taxed some non-British goods, restricted the use of non-British ships, and required certain goods to pass through English ports. A discount on goods traded within the colonies was not one of their provisions, so the answer is D.
