The correct answer is A, as the Battle of Midway is considered a turning point in WWII, when US destroyed 4 Japanese aircraft carriers while losing just one US carrier.
The Battle of Midway was a naval battle between the Japanese and the American Navy at the Midway Islands in the Second World War. The battle was induced by Japan and lasted from June 4 to June 1942. It took place six months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which led to a state of war between Japan and the United States, and about a month after the Battle of the Coral Sea. The Battle of Midway resulted in the US forces rejecting the attack and destroying 4 Japanese aircraft carriers and a heavy cross against their own loss of an aircraft carrier and a destroyer.
