Answer 1

The correct response is:

C. his troops mutinied in the capital

Tzar Nicholas II abdicated the throne in March 1917 during the Russian Revolution, largely due to widespread discontent among the military and the general population, including mutinies among his troops in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg). This loss of support from the military and the rising revolutionary sentiments ultimately led to his decision to abdicate.
