b. the battle of kings mountain: the patriots first use the hit - and - run tactic.
c. winter at valley forge: washingtons soldiers endure a harsh winter.
d. the battle of quebec: all patriot forces are forced to pull out of canada.

Explanation:

The timeline shows events in chronological order. After the Battle of Saratoga (which made the British abandon the northern strategy) and before the Battle of Yorktown (where a French fleet blocked British reinforcements), the winter at Valley Forge (where Washington's soldiers endured a harsh winter) fits chronologically. The Battle of Bunker Hill was before the Battle of Trenton. The Battle of Kings Mountain was a southern - front battle but not in this chronological sequence. The Battle of Quebec was also an earlier event.

Answer:

C. Winter at Valley Forge: Washington's soldiers endure a harsh winter.
