I guess maybe because Fort Neccessity is near Pittsburgh?

The French and Indian War began with the battle between the British and French for various territories, but the specific battle that marked the start of the war was the clash over Fort Duquesne. To arrive at this answer, you can examine the events leading up to the war and the key locations involved.

The French and Indian War took place between 1754 and 1763. It was a conflict between the British and French, who both sought to expand their territories in North America. Each side had the support of different Native American tribes, which is why it is known as the French and Indian War.

Fort Duquesne, located in what is now modern-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was a strategic trading and military outpost that the French built. The British, specifically the Ohio Company, had also laid claim to the region around Fort Duquesne. Due to its strategic location, control over Fort Duquesne was highly contested by the British and French.

In 1754, a young George Washington (who later became the first President of the United States) led an unsuccessful attack against the French at Fort Duquesne, which is sometimes referred to as the Battle of Fort Necessity. This event triggered the formal start of the French and Indian War.

Therefore, the correct answer to your question is indeed c. Fort Duquesne.
