Explanation:

• The Battle of Fredericksburg occurred in December 1862.
• The Union was defeated in this battle.
• Option A is incorrect as it wrongly states the Confederacy was defeated.
• The Battle of Fort Wagner was in 1863 (July), so Option C is out of timeline (December 1862 slot).
• Pickett's Charge was part of the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1863), so Option D is also out of timeline.

Answer:

B. Union defeated at the Battle of Fredericksburg
