The correct option is B
The Battle of Yorktown took place during the War of Independence of the United States of America between September 26 and October 19, 1781. It confronted the continental insurgents and their French allies-both those officially sent under the command of the Count of Rochambeaucomo. volunteers of the Marquis de La Fayette- against the British under the command of Lord Cornwallis.
The battle was fought in Yorktown, colony of Virginia, besieged for several weeks. On the one hand, we have 8,000 British commanded by Lord Charles Cornwallis, and on the other, 9,000 continental insurgents, volunteers from La Fayette, commanded by Colonel Armand Tuffin, Marquis de la Rouerie, and George Washington, as well as 5,000 men from the French expeditionary body of Count Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur de Rochambeau (11,000 French in total).
The French fleet holds the blockade of the port of Yorktown, preventing any British operation of reavituallamiento by sea, while French terrestrial troops and patriots surrounded the city.
The Franco-insurgent army besieges the city after having taken the fortifications and bastions that had to defend. The British general who commanded the besieged troops in Yorktown, Lord Cornwallis, surrenders, pretending to be sick, and sends one of his subordinates to hand over his sword to the victors.
