The correct answer is C. As result of the defeat of the Union forces at the Second Battle of Bull Run, the Confederate forces were encouraged to start an offensive in the North and invade Maryland.

Explanation:

The Second Battle of Bull Run took place between August 28 and August 30, 1862, during the Northern Virginia Campaign of the Civil War.

It was the culmination of an offensive campaign waged by the Northern Virginia Army of Confederate General Robert E. Lee against the Union Army of General John Pope. It was a battle on a much larger scale than the first battle of Bull Run, fought both in the same area. The outcome of the battle was a Confederate victory, but the Union Army was largely intact.

The Union had about 10,000 dead and wounded of the 62,000 involved in the battle; the Confederacy had about 1,300 dead and some 7,000 injured of some 50,000 who fought. While the Union army was concentrated in Centerville, Lee planned his new move. He sent Jackson to conduct another flanking march with the intention of interposing himself between Pope's army and Washington. Pope responded to this movement and the two forces clashed at the Battle of Chantilly on September 1. Lee immediately began his new campaign on September 3, when the vanguard of the Army of Northern Virginia crossed the Potomac River, marching toward the fateful encounter with the Army of the Potomac at the Battle of Antietam of the Maryland Campaign.
