The correct answer is A. She was a peasant girl who led the French army in battle against the English.

Explanation:

Joan of Arc was a woman that lived from 1412 to 1431 and mainly recognized as a heroine in France due to her actions during the Hundred Years' War, which was a conflict from 1337 to 1453 between the House of Plantagenet from England and the House of Valois from France as they fought for determining the right to rule in France. Joan of Arc was born in a peasant family and it is believed she was illiterate,  but this, did not stop her to join the war when she was around 17 years old inspired by visions of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Archangel Michael, and Saint Margaret, additionally to this, her actions in battle affected greatly the war and led to the victory of the French army against the English, which made her a heroine in France. Unfortunately in 1430 and despite being innocent she was captured and burned in the stake, a situation that made her a martyr and declared a saint in 1920.

Considering the previous information it can be concluded the statement that accurately describes Joan of Arch is "She was a peasant girl who led the French army in battle against the English", because she was born in an peasant family, but is mainly recognized for her role during the war France had against England.
