a) by launching a surprise attack during the mexican siesta time
b) by engaging in a long, protracted battle
c) by surrendering to santa annas forces
d) by retreating from the battlefield

Explanation:

At the Battle of San Jacinto, Sam Houston's Texan army launched a surprise attack during the Mexican siesta time (a traditional afternoon rest). This caught the Mexican forces off - guard. A long, protracted battle (Option B) was not the case as the battle was relatively short. Surrendering (Option C) and retreating (Option D) are the opposite of achieving victory.

Answer:

A. By launching a surprise attack during the Mexican siesta time
