Answer:
A) The Patriot Militias were equipped with Long Rifles.
Explanation:
"The most important difference of the battle was that the Patriot militia was armed with the long rifle, a very accurate, long-range weapon that was slow to load and no bayonet could be attached. It took about one minute to load, aim, and fire the rifle." - Source: https://www.nps.gov/common/uploads/teachers/lessonplans/Reading%20-%20Tactices%20in%20the%20Battle%20of%20Kings%20Mountain.pdf
