Answer
A
decreased support for the colonial cause.
B
an increase in colonial supplies and troops.
C
Spain’s entry into the war on the side of the colonists.
D
France’s entry into the war on the side of the colonists.

Explanation

The victories at Trenton and Princeton in late 1776 and early 1777 lifted morale after a series of defeats. They encouraged more colonists to support the Continental Army, helping bring in troops and supplies. France entered the war later, after the American victory at Saratoga, so the battles did not directly cause France’s entry.
