Answer:

C. One of my ancestors fought at the battle of Gettysburg.

Explanation:

Capitalization or the use of capital letters in a sentence or word is used for nouns, especially proper nouns. Moreover, it is also used to start a sentence, with names, months, days, holidays, festivals, etc.

Among the given options, sentence C has an error in the use of capitalization. The "Battle of Gettysburg" is a historical battle fought between the Union and Confederate armies. And thus, the name of the battle is a proper noun. Thus, capital letter should be used when writing the name of the battle.

Thus, the correct way to write the given sentence should be <em>"One of my ancestors fought at the Battle of Gettysburg."</em>

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
