Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the Mexican - American War:

• Option 1: Mexico did not gain American concessions; in fact, it lost territory. So this is incorrect.
• Option 2: The war was not close throughout. The United States had significant military advantages and successes. So this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Mexico faced many military defeats, had internal political issues, and ultimately lost decisively, ceding a large amount of territory to the US. This option accurately reflects the course of the war.

Answer:

C. Mexico faired poorly through most of the war, losing decisively.
