Answer:

A. Feeding Lee’s troops and sending them home.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the American Civil War, Confederate General Robert E. Lee led his troops to surrender to the Union General Ulysses S. Grant. This surrender was the first step that will bring to an end in the ongoing Civil War.

As part of the surrender, General Lee and General Grant made the terms and conditions of the surrender. The troops along with Lee will be allowed to go home and take their horses with them. They will be given passes which will signify they are paroled prisoners of the war, provided rations since they have not eaten anything, and are hungry. And then they will be allowed to go home.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
