C. France did not think the colonists could win, but after victories by the Continental army, France provided aid and signed a formal alliance.

A dew reasons of this is because of one war that convinced France that UnitedStates could win. And France was already against Great Britain and didn't like them. Also choosing Benjamin Franklin as an ambassador from US to go to France also hepled their case. If France never aided United States, US would have never become independent.
