Explanation:

Question 16

Napoleon escaped from exile on Elba, returned to France. The French people, who still had support for him and were discontent with the Bourbon restoration, welcomed him back. The first option is wrong as there was no popular election in that way, and the second option is wrong as he was welcomed, not defying the people's wishes.

The Battle of Waterloo (1815) was Napoleon's final battle where he was defeated, leading to his final exile. Battle of Leipzig was a defeat but not the last. Battle of Austerlitz was a victory. Battle of Belgium is not a specific famous battle associated with his last defeat (Waterloo is in Belgium - part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands then, but the battle is named Waterloo).

Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena in the South Atlantic after Waterloo, where he died. Corsica was his birthplace, Elba was his first exile, and Sardinia is not the island he died on.

Answer:

C. He returned to France from exile and the French people welcomed him back. (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with the third option being the correct one as per the content; if original labels differ, adjust accordingly. Here the third option text is "He returned to France from exile and the French people welcomed him back.")
