Answer:

The correct answer is D. The Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution was George Washington.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Continental Congress appointed Washington as the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army in 1775. The following year, the British were evicted from Boston, lost the city of New York and were defeated in Trenton, New Jersey, to the surprise caused by Washington crossing the Delaware River. Due to his strategy, revolutionary forces captured the two main British combat armies at the Battle of Saratoga and the Battle of Yorktown.
