GPT-5 mini · Answer

Select: They displayed bravery and experienced heavy losses during battle.

Explanation: The 28th Regiment, U.S. Colored Troops saw combat and suffered heavy casualties in action (they were among the Black regiments that fought bravely at Petersburg/Crater and elsewhere). They did not plant the mine that blew the Crater (that work was done by Union engineers/miners, notably men from the 48th Pennsylvania), nor were they limited to drills or only guard/labor duty.
