Explanation:

The "Shot Heard 'Round the World" refers to the first shot of the American Revolutionary War, which occurred during the first exchange of gunfire at Lexington (and Concord). The signing of the Declaration of Independence is a later event, the Boston Tea Party was a protest involving tea, and the Boston Massacre was a confrontation in Boston, none of which are associated with this phrase as closely as the Lexington gunfire.
