4. The colonists won and they caused the British to have significant casualties.

Answer 1

2. The colonists lost but they caused the British to have significant casualties.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought between the colonists and the British on June 17, 1775. This battle was also the first major battle of the American revolution.

Though the title of Bunker Hill is used for the battle, most of the real fight occurred at a nearby place called Breed's Hill. And at this battle, the British defeated the colonist, but at the cost of a severe casualty from their side.

Thus, the correct answer is option 2.
