A
his refusal to tax the American colonies

Explanation

Grenville’s government imposed taxes on the American colonies, including the Stamp Act of 1765. The colonial protests and opposition to his policies contributed to his loss of political support, and he was removed from office that year. Thus, the correct choice is his heavy taxation of the American colonies.
