Which of the following was part of the confederate military strategy

A) They would block Northern ports.

B) They would control the Mississippi River.

C) They would defend their land and hopefully the war would be so costly that the North would have to surrender

D) They would capture Richmond Virginia

The answer is C. If the South had won the war, they would have actually put themselves at a disadvantage by destroying the Northern Ports. They also controlled the southern end of the Mississippi River. Virginia was a state that supported the South in the war, so the South would have already had control of Richmond. This leads the answer to be C.
