B) It won the Americans a foreign ally.
The outcome of the Battle of Saratoga was crucial because it persuaded France to formally enter the American Revolutionary War as an ally of the American colonies. The victory at Saratoga in 1777 was a turning point, demonstrating to the French that the American forces had the capability to defeat a major British army. This led to the signing of the Treaty of Alliance in 1778, formalizing the military alliance between the United States and France, which significantly influenced the course of the war.
