A) Loyalists outnumbered Patriots.

Explanation:

Especially many loyalists were observed in the South, in New York, in Pennsylvania, and in Georgia and South Carolina they made up the majority. Loyalists called for moderation in the struggle for the rights of the colonies, for which they were attacked by radical patriots. Georgia was one of the main centers of loyalists in the Revolutionary War. During the war, there were whole army formations formed from loyalists; nevertheless, their actions had little effect on the outcome of the entire Anglo-American conflict.
