Explanation:

Question 5

The Congress of Vienna aimed to restore stability and create a lasting peace in Europe after the Napoleonic Wars. Punishing France was not the chief goal (a is wrong), creating a united Europe was not the focus (b is wrong), and strengthening France was opposite to their aims (d is wrong). So the goal was to create lasting peace.

When Russian forces retreated eastward (e.g., during Napoleon's invasion), they used the scorched - earth policy, destroying resources to deny them to the enemy. Guerilla warfare is different (a), abdication is giving up power (c), and the Continental System was Napoleon's economic policy (d).

Napoleon's economic warfare against Britain was through the Continental System, which was a blockade of European ports to stop trade with Britain. Legitimacy is about political right (a), plebiscite is a vote (b), and scorched - earth is a military tactic (d).

Answer:

c. to create a lasting peace
