Explanation:

The 1801 Concordat between Napoleon and Pope Pius VII normalized relations between France's government and the Catholic Church. It ended the persecution of the church that occurred during the French Revolution, while the church did not regain all confiscated lands, lost revolutionary-era influence (it actually regained some), and did not get to appoint legislative council members.

Answer:

C. The church was able to function without persecution from the government.
