B, C, and D.
- B: True — the treaty imposed large reparations on Germany (the 1921 figure was set at 132 billion gold marks).
- C: True — Germany lost territory (Alsace‑Lorraine, parts of Prussia to Poland, Saar, colonies, etc.) and had to cede lands acquired or held.
- D: True — Article 231 (the "war guilt" clause) assigned responsibility for the war to Germany and its allies.
