The Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 was considered a victory for the Continental army because

The British captured the Americans’ position at Bunker Hill, so the Continental army did not maintain control and did not force the British back to Boston. However, the British suffered heavy casualties while taking the hill. That made the battle a costly victory for Britain and a morale boost for the Americans, so the correct choice is “the British army sustained heavy casualties.”
