Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Scots-Irish settlers in the backcountry were more likely to remain neutral during the Revolutionary War. They were often isolated from the main conflicts and had less direct involvement with the British policies that sparked the rebellion, compared to other groups who had more direct economic and social ties to British rule or were more directly impacted by its policies.
