The correct option is C. They had trained and rehearsed for the mission. Originally, the black regiment had prepared for the offensive and was going to lead the charge against the Confederate Army, however one day before the battle they were ordered not to do that and were replaced by white troops. This result in a defeat of the Union Army.
