Explanation:

To determine who ordered the British expedition to Concord, we analyze each option:

• Option a: George Washington was a leader of the American forces, not the one ordering British expeditions.
• Option b: Paul Revere was a messenger during the events, not the one giving orders for the expedition.
• Option c: General Thomas Gage, as the British military commander in North America at the time, ordered the expedition to Concord to seize military supplies.
• Option d: King George III was the British monarch but was not directly ordering this specific local military expedition; such orders were handled by local commanders like Gage.
