B. Sam Davis was being asked to tell who gave him the Union's battle plans.
C. Sam Davis was being asked to tell how he was able to return to his home.
D. Sam Davis was being asked to tell where the Confederates were planning to attack.

1. Correct Option: C

Let us consider each option one by one:
A. President Lincoln's Honor Guard was Michigan regiment; therefore, this is not the right answer.
B. Unit that won the Battle of Franklin was one of Ohio and Tennessee units. This is also not the option.
D. Massachusetts was not a Union Army; it was a Confederate one.

Only one option is left, and that is C.

2. Correct Answer: D
Sam Davis was captured on November 20, 1863 by the Union forces for spying for the Confederate forces. He was the confederate soldier, who was executed by the Union forces. When Union forces asked him to tell them about confederate's plans, especially about confederate's next attack, he denied to share any details. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
