The answer is: Native American groups formed an alliance against the British to reclaim their land.

Explanation for each option:

  1. British forts were targeted and attacked, but none was destroyed during the war. - This statement is incorrect. During Pontiac's War, several British forts were indeed attacked and some were captured or destroyed by Native American forces. For example, Fort Michilimackinac was taken by surprise.

  2. Pontiac was the leader of the Powhatan nation. - This statement is incorrect. Pontiac was not the leader of the Powhatan nation; he was a leader of the Ottawa people. The Powhatan were a different Native American group located in the eastern part of North America, primarily in what is now Virginia.

  3. Native American groups formed an alliance against the British to reclaim their land. - This statement is correct. Pontiac's War was characterized by a coalition of various Native American tribes who united to resist British post-war policies and encroachments on their lands following the French and Indian War.

  4. Pontiac finally defeated British forces at a battle near Fort Pitt. - This statement is incorrect. While Pontiac's forces laid siege to Fort Pitt, they did not achieve a decisive victory there. The siege was eventually lifted after British reinforcements arrived.
