The correct answer is A. In the War of 1812, the Battle of New Orleans took place weeks after the war had officially ended.

Explanation:

The Battle of New Orleans took place on January 8, 1815 and was the last major battle of the War of 1812.

US forces, under the command of Major General Andrew Jackson, defeated the invading British army set to conquer New Orleans and the large territory the United States had acquired in the Louisiana Purchase. The peace in Ghent, which ended the war, was signed on December 24, 1814, but hostilities continued until the end of February when official depots announcing peace reached the warriors in Louisiana and finally put an end to the war. Jackson suspended the state of war in New Orleans as late as March 16, after receiving confirmation that the peace treaty had actually been ratified. The Battle of New Orleans is generally regarded as the largest American victory in a field battle in the War of 1812.
