The Continental Congress commissioned George Washington as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army on June 19, 1775. Washington was selected over other candidates such as John Hancock based on his previous military experience and the hope that a leader from Virginia could help unite the colonies. It could be A or C. If it was me, I would choose answer A.

I hope this answer helps! feel free to ask any additional questions :)
