How did the war in Europe come to an end?

By early 1945, Allied forces were advancing into Germany from both the west and the east: Western Allied armies crossed the Rhine, while Soviet forces approached Berlin. Germany’s defeat became unavoidable, and it surrendered unconditionally in May 1945. This makes A, “Allied forces seized Germany from the east and west, forcing a surrender,” the best choice; Germany did not negotiate a cease-fire or overthrow Hitler and then surrender.
