(A) Also known as Joseph Brant, he was sent to Detroit to thwart George Rogers Clark's plan to capture the British stronghold there. (B) He filed charges of treason against Daniel Boone, claiming that the latter had betrayed the colonists left behind at Boonesborough. (C) He warned the Americans of an impending siege on Fort Randolph in an attempt to prevent a broader war between the colonists and the Shawnee. (D) After being captured by Seneca Indians in 1756, he "went Native", and was adopted by the tribe. He later fought FOR the Indians and British during the American Revolution, working as an interpreter, scout, negotiator and raider.

The answer is (D)

This statement is incorrect. Joseph Brant, also known as Thayendanegea, was a Mohawk military and political leader, not Simon Girty. Brant was indeed involved in the British efforts during the American Revolution, but he is a different historical figure.

This statement is also incorrect. There is no historical record of Simon Girty filing charges of treason against Daniel Boone. Boone was indeed accused of treason at one point, but it was not by Girty.

This statement is incorrect. Simon Girty did not warn the Americans of an impending siege on Fort Randolph. His actions were generally aligned with the British and Native American forces during the American Revolution.

This statement is correct. Simon Girty was captured by the Seneca Indians in 1756 and was adopted by the tribe. He later became known for his role in fighting for the Indians and the British during the American Revolution, serving as an interpreter, scout, negotiator, and raider. This earned him the nickname "The Great Renegade."
