D

Answer 3

A and D.  The Directory has already been explained.

As to the codification of French law, Napoleon ordered the exercise carried out, but it was the work of a commission, not the Emperor, and relatively little in the Codes was new.  A number of Civil Codes had existed previously, but did not apply to the whole of France.  The new codes reconciled any conflicting elements in the old, and were applied not only to Metropolitan France, but to all French territories.
