The Battle of Antietam was the first major battle on Union soil and the bloodiest day in U.S. battle history. Option C is correct,

In this battle, both sides had losses, but it was a victory for the North.

This constituted a battle of the American Civil War, fought on September 17, 1862, between Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and Union General George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac, near Sharpsburg, Maryland and Antietam Creek.
