Answer 2

Correct answer:

A) He took advantage of the political chaos following the French Revolution to come to power.

The French Revolution took place during the years 1789 and 1799. Napoleon led a military expedition to Egypt where he gained strength to reach political power. In the year 1799 Napoleon achieved a coup that ends the French Revolution. For the above reasons, Napoleon did not use the chaos that followed the end of the French Revolution to reach power but that through the Revolution he managed to reach.
