Explanation:

To determine who the Malta exiles were, we analyze each option:

• The first option refers to Maltese army units, but the Malta exiles are related to Ottoman figures in the context of the Armenian Genocide prosecution.
• The second option: After the Armenian Genocide, Ottoman soldiers and politicians responsible were sent to Malta for prosecution, which matches the concept of "Malta exiles."
• The third option describes an Armenian armed group, not exiles.
• The fourth option refers to Armenian citizens expelled, but the Malta exiles were Ottoman perpetrators, not Armenian victims.

Answer:

B. Ottoman soldiers and politicians who were sent to Malta for prosecution in the Armenian Genocide.
