Answer:

The correction option is A) The beginning of the Texas Revolution

Step-by-step explanation:

On the second of October 1835, a group of Texian settlers rebelled against the Mexican government by exchanging fire with a unit of Mexican soldiers who had been sent (after the former had repeatedly turned down the request by the latter to return a military weapon they had borrowed about four years earlier) to retrieve the weapon

The Mexican government had lent the people of Gonzales a military weapon to defend themselves against raids from a native American incursion known as the Comanche who at that time raided Gonzales.

In the exchange, two Mexican soldiers were killed. They eventually retreated and this marked the beginning of the Texas Revolution.

Cheers
