Which statement describes the 200th Coast Artillery's experience in the Philippines?

Answer
A
They were evacuated before Japan attacked the islands.
B
They fought mainly at sea as part of the naval fleet.
C
They surrendered after months of fighting with limited supplies.

Explanation

The 200th Coast Artillery fought in the Philippines after Japan invaded in December 1941. Its soldiers endured months of combat on Bataan and faced severe shortages of food and supplies before surrendering in 1942.
