Understanding the outcome of the Battle of Bannockburn and its effect on Scotland's independence. In 1314, Robert the Bruce led the Scottish forces to a decisive victory over the English at Bannockburn.

The independence was later formalized in the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton (1328). So the statement is true: the battle happened, Bruce led the Scots, and Scotland remained unconquered. The other options don’t fit the historical record.
