Answer:

C) It made the French decide to help the Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Battle of Saratoga was a huge turning point in the American Revolution because the French decided that they would help America in the war.

Additionally, the Dutch and Spanish also decided to help America.

However, French's support was the most significant part of the Battle of Saratoga because their naval powers would lead America to win against Britain.
