Answer:
3.They wanted to remain loyal to the king.
Explanation:
The Olive Branch Petition was the last attempt of the American leaders to avoid war with Britain, and normalize relations.
In the petition, the American leaders sought a better treatment in terms of trade and taxation, as well as representation in the British Parliament. They clarified that they remained loyal to King George III, and they did not want to go to war.
The petition failed because it was met with disdain by King George III, shortly after this, the American Revolutionary War broke out.
