The correct answer is **B. A victory for the federal government.**The Battle of Batoche, fought in May 1885, was a decisive defeat for the Métis resistance led by Louis Riel. The federal forces, better equipped and larger in number, overwhelmed the Métis forces, leading to Riel's surrender and the effective end of the North-West Rebellion.
