Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A The nomination of the Ultra prince de Polignac as minister culminated in an uprising in the streets of Paris.
B The Parisians took to the streets to protest against the conservative policies of Charles X.
D The throne of the King was offered to the Louis-Philippe d’Orléans.

The Treaty of Vienna established Charles X as the King of France. He took a far more conservative line than his brother Louis XVIII. He attempted to rule as an absolute monarch and tried to reassert the power of the Catholic Church. The people of France resisted his ordinances and the clampdown of liberal press. The discontent led to an uprising in the streets of France which was called the July Revolution of 1830. Thereafter, Charles X fled and abdicated the throne and Louis Philippe became the French monarch.
