Answer:

A. St.-Lô is the right option.

Explanation:

Saint-Lô was the headquarters of a large German unit. Allied forces bombed the city aiming at the railway station and the power station. 800 civilians were killed on the night of June 6-7, 1944. The town was situated strategically. Saint-Lô was destroyed in 90% by the Allied bombing. It is considered a town-martyr.
