Answer:

The correct answer is C. The battle that led to the capture of Hessian troops was the Battle of Trenton.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Battle of Trenton took place on December 26, 1776, during the War of Independence, after the crossing of the Delaware River by General George Washington to Trenton, New Jersey. General George Washington led the main Continental Army across the river during the night of December 25-26 to surprise and virtually eliminate the Hessian garrison. The Hessian forces suffered 22 fatalities, 83 serious injuries and 896 were taken prisoners. The Americans suffered only two deaths and five wounded by war wounds.
