Answer:

The correct answer is B. Napoleon had them all executed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mentioned painting is Bonaparte Visits the Plague Stricken in Jaffa, an oil on canvas painted by the French artist Antoine-Jean Gros in 1804, and specifically requested by Napoleon himself.

In the painting Napoleon is represented as if he is helping the sick soldiers, whereas in reality, he commissioned the work with the hope that people would forget about the fact that he had about 3000 sick people murdered right after his visit.
