  5. The period lasted for 15 years.
Explanation
Answer: A - About one-third of the Russian people died between 1601 and 1603 due to famine during the Time of Troubles, which lasted from 1598 to 1613. The famine, civil unrest and would-be usurpers of the throne added to the country’s mounting problems. In 1603 a pretender to the throne instigated the involvement of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, whose army ended up occupying the country. In 1613, the army was expelled for good, and a member of the Romanov family was elected as tsar, after which Russia grew to become a powerful empire.
