The answer is B. The Patriot victory at the Battle of Kettle Creek practically ended support for the Loyalist cause in the colony
This happens because Patriot victory in Georgia and delayed the consolidation of British control in the largely Loyalist colony and make the loyalist think that supporting the british cause is no longer profitable for them.
