Option-B. In 1781, British surrendered to combined force of Continental Army of America following the Battle of Yorktown in Virginia.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Siege of Yorktown is the last land battle of American Revolutionary war. The British army was won by The Continental Army that is led by General George Washington. General Cornwallis signed the surrender document, (which is named as Articles of Capitulation) of British on
19^(th) October, 1781
. The Victory monument was erected in 1884 in Colonial Historical National park, Virginia.

In the battle of Lexington, the British withdrew from the war due to poor health condition of the British military and led to the victory of American forces.
