C.
The Sea Islands' shoals, marshes and tidal creeks made large-scale landings difficult, and Charleston-area fortifications (e.g., Fort Moultrie and other harbor defenses) plus a British focus on blockade and limited raids kept the British from mounting a major mainland invasion. Options A, B and D are inaccurate.
