The correct answer is B) No. The war started a year before the Declaration of Independence was written.

The Declaration of Independence was written in 1776. However, before this declaration, the Americans already fought against the British militia multiple times at places such as Lexington and Concord and the Battle of Bunker Hill.

Essentially, the Declaration of Independence was supposed to be a formal declaration in which the United States officially broke of political and economic ties with Great Britain.
