The correct answer is option 2: Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.

Statement I states that the passing of the Coercive Acts made reconciliation between Britain and her American colonies virtually impossible. This is true because the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were a series of laws passed by the British Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party. These acts included the closing of the port of Boston, the quartering of British troops in private homes, and the suspension of self-government in Massachusetts. These acts only served to further anger the American colonists and push them towards the path of revolution, making reconciliation highly unlikely.

Statement II states that the British Parliament, having issued the Stamp Act in 1765, repealed it later. This is true as well. The Stamp Act was indeed passed by the British Parliament in 1765 and imposed taxes on various printed materials in the American colonies. However, due to widespread protest and economic boycotts, the Stamp Act was repealed in 1766. The repeal of the Stamp Act was seen as a victory for the colonists and led to a temporary period of calm before further tensions arose between Britain and the colonies.

However, while both statements are true
