Answer:

D. They all served in the House of Burgesses.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not A, because only Patrick Henry served as governor, in this case the governor of Virginia.

It is not B, because they were fighting for the US independence, and were living in the US, not in Britain. Therefore, they cannot be part of the British Parliament while fighting the British.

George Washington is known for his extensive role as military officer and later commander in chief, and did not play a large role as an ambassador to England, and so it is not C.
