Answer: I think it would be C or B

Explanation: Britain's military was the best in the world. Their soldiers were well equipped, well disciplined, well paid, and well fed. The British navy dominated the seas. Funds were much more easily raised by the Empire than by the Continental Congress.

The Continental Army had a number of advantages over the British army. Their biggest one was that they were fighting for a grand cause; their independence and freedom, which was a very motivating factor and while strengths were hard to find, their weaknesses were obvious.

A major weakness for the Continental Army was manpower; they were always short of qualified and capable men. General George Washington routinely had no more than 20,000 troops at one time and place.
