Answer 2

Answer:

C. His victory against a superior British foe inspired the American troops.

Explanation:

John Paul Jones is considered the hero in the Revolutionary War. He is known as the Father of the US Navy.

In the Revolutionary War, Jones sided with the American colonists against the British and took hold of naval ships. In 1779, when the British warship Serapis was in conflict with the American warship Bon Homme Richard, Jones plugged the American warship with the Britisher's warship and tossed a grenade into the opponent warship. Thus when Jones was victorious in the war, this boosted the American spirits for the war.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
