a. to end the colonial boycott of british products
b. to end the british military occupation of the city
c. to force savannah loyalists to support the independence movement
d. to force savannah businesses to provide military support to the patriots

Explanation:

The Siege of Savannah during the American Revolution was a British - American military conflict. The Patriots' (American revolutionaries) aim in the siege was to end the British military occupation of Savannah. Option A is about colonial boycott, which is not related to the siege's aim. Option C: Loyalists supported the British, so forcing them to support independence is incorrect. Option D: Savannah businesses under British control would not be forced to support Patriots. So the correct reason for the siege was to end British military occupation.

Answer:

B. to end the British military occupation of the city
