    A is the correct answer.

    The Battle of Ft. Ticonderoga wasn't much of a Battle. Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys surprised the garrison at the Fort and quickly worked to capture the Fort and loot the ammunition. The cannons and weapons were later used at the Battle of Bunker Hill.

    Originally known as Fort Carillion, it was built in 1755 by French settlers, as a military base. Due to the important position linking Canada and the valley of the Hudson River, the British attempted to conquer it in 1758, having suffered great losses from the fewer French troops. However, next year, British manage to conquer and rename it to Fort Ticonderoga. In May 1775 during the French and Indian wars, Benedict Arnold joined Ethan Allen and Mountain Boys of Vermont, and at dawn attacked and won the fortress from the small and sleepy garrison of the British.

    Although it was a small conflict, this was the first victory of the colonialists in the revolutionary war against the British, it had to be a morale booster and enabled key artillery for the continental army in the first year of the war. Next year. this artillery was used during the successful siege of Boston.

    The right answer is B. It provided cannon and weapons General Washington later used in Boston.
