Explanation:

The Battle of Yorktown was a decisive battle in the Revolutionary War. After this battle, the British faced significant pressure and eventually led to the end of major combat operations. It was not the second battle (Lexington and Concord was early in the war), not the first with foreign help (there were earlier French - American cooperations in a limited sense like at Saratoga in terms of French supplies and influence before full - scale military alliance), and it did not prolong the war.

Answer:

C. It was the last major battle of the war.
