Explanation:

To answer this, we recall historical events: The Siege of Yorktown (1781) in the American Revolutionary War ended with British General Cornwallis surrendering to American and French forces. General Putnam, Montgomery, and Washington (who was leading the American side) do not match this surrender event.

Answer:

A. General Cornwallis
