The correct answer is D. An incident in which five civilians were killed after British soldiers were surrounded by an angry mob.

Explanation:

The Boston Massacre occurred in 1770 in Boston, U.S and was a confrontation between some civilians and British Soldiers. During this incident, a group of soldiers that were in the Province of Massachusetts Bay were surrounded and attacked by a crowd of people or mob after different confrontations and different state affairs in previous months, because of this, the soldiers began shooting the crowd without having received an order from a superior and mainly as a result of the situation. This led to the death of five civilians and six civilians being injured. After this incident, the governor began an inquiry and some of the soldiers were charged with manslaughter. Thus, the Boston Massacre was mainly an incident in which five civilians were killed after British soldiers were surrounded by an angry mob.
