Explanation:

The American victory at the Battle of Plattsburgh was in August - September 1814. The British invasion and destruction of Washington, D.C. occurred in August 1814, before the Battle of Plattsburgh. Option A (Battle of Baltimore) was in December 1814, Option B (Battle of New Orleans) was in January 1815, and there is no historical evidence for Option D as described in the context of events before the Battle of Plattsburgh.

Answer:

C. The British army invaded and destroyed Washington, D.C.
