The correct answer is Option b) 18,000
The largest number of troops ever fighting in the Continental Army was 18,000 soldiers.
The continental army was founded on the 14th of June 1775 after the American revolutionary war began.
George Washington was the general and commander-in-chief of the Army which was fighting and representing all of the 13 colonies.
The army was also supported by local militias and support groups.
While initially, Washington believed he could raise an army of up to 75,000 men, he was never able to go above the figure of 18,000.
