Explanation
Answer: E - The Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle was designed to end the foreign occupation of France. Louis XVIII had been restored after the defeat of Napoleon; however, his security on the throne had depended on the support of foreign troops. France argued that the monarchy could not be solidified while it was backed by outsiders, and the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle agreed, withdrawing troops from France.
