Solution

The correct option is A 1 and 3 only
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), also known as Napoleon I, was a French military leader and emperor. He conquered much of Europe in the early 19th century. He rapidly rose through the ranks of the military during the French Revolution (1789-1799). After seizing political power in France in a 1799 coup d’etat, he crowned himself emperor in 1804. Napoleon was a shrewd, ambitious, and a skilled military strategist. He successfully waged war against various coalitions of European nations and expanded his empire. However, after a disastrous French invasion of Russia in 1812, Napoleon abdicated the throne two years later and was exiled to the island of Elba. After a crushing defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, he abdicated once again and was exiled to the remote island of Saint Helena. He died there on May 5, 1821, at 51.
