it was an african american unit that was noted for heroism in battle
it was a union replacement unit that turned the tide at the battle of gettysburg
it was composed of men under the age of 20.
it was the only integrated unit during the civil war

Explanation:

The 54th Massachusetts Regiment was a famous African American infantry unit in the Union Army during the Civil War. It was known for its bravery, especially in the assault on Fort Wagner. The option about being a replacement unit at Gettysburg is incorrect (Gettysburg had other units, and the 54th wasn't a replacement unit there). The claim about men under 20 is false, and it was not the only integrated unit (though it was predominantly African American). So the correct option is the one about it being an African American unit noted for heroism.

Answer:

A. It was an African American unit that was noted for heroism in battle
