The correct answer is option A. The British were content to demonstrate their superior power and tactics in the hopes of convincing the rebels to surrender.

Explanation:

The Revolutionary war, also known as the American war for independence. The war was between the British and the thirteen colonies of America. As a result, America won by overthrowing the British out of those colonies which led to the formation of The united States of America.
