Well, here's the thing.  The confederates tried all morning to take the sunken road, and the  yanks held their ground; the problem was, after 6 charges, it became too much. The confederates took a victory and over 2,000 union P.O.W.s. Seemed like a victory, that is, until they realised that Grant had established a new defense line near Pittsburgh landing ^^
I personally would go with A.
