François Joseph Paul de Grasse
Charles Henri Hector d’Estaing

The correct answer is Marquis de Lafayette

So why is this answer correct? : On March 26, 1777, 19-year-old French aristocrat Marquis de Lafayette left France to either “conquer or perish” for the American cause. He arrived three months later in South Carolina, joined the Continental Army as a volunteer Major General, and saw his first battle in September that same year. After the war’s end, Lafayette sailed back to a country in the throes of its own revolution.
