Answer:

The correct answer is C. Louisville, the capital of Georgia from 1796 to 1807, was named in honor of the King of France who supported the Americans in the Revolution.

Louisville was named in honor of Louis XVI, then still King of France, whose soldiers defended the Americans against Britain during the American Revolutionary War. As France was a huge help for the American cause, many cities and places were named after French heroes from the war.
