Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

Liberals and aristocrats formed the Provisional government.

A Provisional government was set up to govern Russia after the first revolution. The Provisional government was filled with liberals and aristocrats. The liberals and aristocrats lived a privileged life. It was impossible for them to empathise with the common people who fought the war on the field and got killed. This led to the government's decision to continue fighting the first world war.
