Explanation:

The Battle of Saratoga was a crucial turning - point in the American Revolution. It was a major victory for the American forces over the British. This victory convinced France to formally ally with the American colonies, which provided much - needed military and financial support. America is a country, not a battle. Washington is a person (George Washington was a key figure in the Revolution but not a battle location in this context). Philadelphia was an important city (the site of the Second Continental Congress, for example) but not the location of this crucial battle.

Answer:

A. Saratoga
