• B. The English army marched through the Lowlands of Scotland, killing large numbers of Lowlanders
• C. The English army marched through the Highlands of Scotland, killing large numbers of Highlanders.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C The English army marched through the Highlands of Scotland, killing large numbers of Highlanders.

The 1745 rebellion was a failure. After victory, the English Army, led by Duke of Cumberland, marched through the Highlands of Scotland and killed large numbers of Highlanders. They hoped to capture Bonnie Prince Charlie, but he escaped to France in 1746.
Thus, option C is correct.
