In which century did the last battle on British soil take place?

This question tests placing a date into its century and recognizing a notable historical event often called the last pitched battle on British soil. The year 1746, when Culloden took place, is within the 1701–1800 span, which is the eighteenth century. Since the eighteenth century covers the 1700s, that’s the correct century. The other options correspond to different centuries: sixteenth covers 1501–1600, seventeenth covers 1601–1700, and nineteenth covers 1801–1900.
