Answer:

Correct answer is C. He would not give up.

Step-by-step explanation:

C is correct answer because although it looked like the British navy will won, when asked to surrender Jones said to British captain "Sir, I have not yet begun to fight!"

A is not correct as although he had a larger ship, it was harder to maneuver with it.

B is not correct also, as Serapis had more than 50 cannons.

D is also not correct as he defeated them with good tactics.
