A.) General Lee surrendered to General Grant at the Appomattox Court House in Virginia.

Explanation:

The Confederate army, diminished by casualties and desertions, was much smaller than Grant's. Union forces defeated the decisive battle of Five Forks on April 1, forcing Lee to evacuate Petersburg and Richmond. The Confederate capital fell into the hands of the XXV Corps of the Union, composed almost exclusively by black soldiers, on April 3. The remaining Confederate troops fled to the west and, after a defeat at Sayler's Creek, Lee realized that it was tactically and logistically impossible to continue the fight against the United States.

Lee surrendered his Virginia army on April 9, 1865, at the Appomattox Court House. In a rare gesture that showed Grant's respect for Lee, and in anticipation of the return of the Confederate states to the Union, Lee was allowed to keep possession of his officer's saber and his horse, Traveler.
