A. Germany retreated and reinforced its troops at the Italian border.

Explanation:

The Allied invasion of Sicily began on the night of 9 to 10 July 1943 and ended on 17 August with a victory by the Allies. The invasion of the island was called Operation Husky and began with a large amphibious and aerial operation, followed by a six-week land campaign and began the Italian campaign.

Husky was the largest amphibious operation of the Second World War until that moment, in terms of men landed on the beaches and in extension. Strategically, the Sicilian operation achieved the goals proposed to it by allied planners. The Axis air and naval forces were expelled from the island; the routes of the Mediterranean were cleared and Mussolini was arrested by the Fascist Grand Council and the King. The road to the Allied invasion of Italy was opened, which had not been considered necessary as a continuation of Operation Husky.

Days before, members of the British SAS neutralized three cannons located in Capo Murro di Porco, which threatened the success of the landing.
