What happened in the Boston Massacre?

Answer
A
A mob of colonists killed two British soldiers.
B
British soldiers killed five peaceful colonists passing by.
C
British soldiers killed five colonists who had been menacing them.

Explanation

On March 5, 1770, a crowd of colonists confronted and taunted British soldiers in Boston. The soldiers fired into the crowd, killing five colonists. Choice C is the most accurate because it notes that the colonists were menacing the soldiers; they were not simply peaceful passersby.
