Answer 1

Many of the French were still loyal to Napoleon when he returned from Elba. He briefly regained power and raised an army but was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo and subsequently exiled to St. Helena. The correct answer is C).

Step-by-step explanation:

When Napoleon returned from Elba, many of the French were still loyal to him (C). After being exiled to Elba following his forced abdication and the French armies' defeats, Napoleon managed to escape the island in March of 1815, returning to France where he found support due to the unpopularity of Louis XVIII. He quickly re-raised an army, but was ultimately defeated at the Battle of Waterloo by British and Prussian forces. Post-Waterloo, the European powers decided to exile Napoleon to a more remote location, St. Helena, to prevent any further return to power.
