The correct answer is C) French.

The French Navy kept General Cornwallis and his troops from escaping from Yorktown.

In 1778, France became an ally to the United States during the Revolutionary War. Both countries signed the Treaty of Alliance. The French Navy fought the war against the British Navy along the East Coast of North America. The French Army united the Continental Army in the battle of Yorktown in 1781. So at the end of the war, the French Army played a vital role in fighting the British troops and helping General George Washington's Continental Army.
