d. by creating their own products

C) By buying from catalogs

Explanation:

Many people in rural areas used catalogs that they received by mail to buy things. Perhaps the most famous of these catalogs was the Sears Catalog.

In a way, Sears was like the Amazon of the past: they sent you the catalog, you order things from it, and received them days or weeks later. Even houses could be ordered from the Sears catalog, but they had to be assembled by the customer.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
