The Siege of Boston ended with the British evacuating the city on March 17, 1776. This was a significant moment in the first phase of the Revolutionary War.

B, C, D, and E are incorrect. American troops did attempt to capture Quebec during this time, but ultimately failed. The British did win a significant victory in North Carolina, but it occurred during the second phase of the war. American troops did not take Nova Scotia, and while the British did capture Philadelphia, it occurred during the second phase of the war as well.
