  5. There were numerous reforms after Napoleon was reelected in France.
Explanation
Answer: B - Napoleon's Hundred Days brought the major powers into an alliance to prevent his return. After being exiled to Elba, Napoleon escaped on March 1, 1815, and reclaimed France. This led to his resounding defeat at Waterloo at the hands of the Duke of Wellington. While the rest of Europe had already united to defeat Napoleon, his sudden reappearance convinced them of the French threat, strengthening their alliance.
