C. To raise money for Great Britain debts.

Explanation:

The Townshend Acts were passed in 1767 onto the colonists from the British government. Its main purpose was to raise money for Great Britain's officials and debts.

The Townshend Acts made it so there were taxes on items such as paint, tea, paper, glass, and other items the colonists used. They also took away other freedoms that the colonists had, but the main part of it was the unfair taxing.

Great Britain made these laws in order to raise money for their judges, governors, and other important officials. They also wanted money to pay off their debts and get an upper hand against the colonists.

The colonists were very angered by these taxes. They deemed them to be very unfair and felt like it was unconstitutional. They made a very big uproar about "taxation without representation," which means they wanted colonists in the British Parliament, as laws were being passed without their say.
