Answer: B. Bunker Hill

Explanation: The famous The Battle of Bunker Hill is described here. This battle was fought on June 17, 1775, at the siege of Boston. It was named after Bunker Hill, which was one of the strategic sites near Boston (Charlestown, Massachusetts) to preserve Boston Harbour. Specifically, patriotic forces besieged Boston and knowing that British troops would try to secure the surrounding hills, with a view to the aforementioned preservation of the port of Boston. In response, the Patriots sent 1,200 men to Bunker Hill to thwart the British intentions and win a great victory even though the patriotic soldiers were far less well trained than the British, who reported heavy losses.
