The correct answer is C. The American's victory at the Battle of Saratoga was the turning point in America's fight for independence.

This military victory for the Continental Army (aka Americans) reinforced the idea that the American army could defeat the strong British army. Along with this, America also proved to France that they were strong enough to defeat Britain. This victory resulted in the United States getting supplies and resources from France.
