Question

declare himself emperor of france.
form a military dictatorship.
execute many of the royalists.
present france with a constitution.

Explanation:

After the coup d'état (1799) and the Directory's resignation, Napoleon's first key action was to establish a new constitution (the Constitution of the Year VIII) to create the Consulate, with him as First Consul. Declaring himself Emperor came later (1804), forming a military dictatorship is inaccurate (he established a consular government), and executing Royalists was not a primary immediate action post - coup.

Answer:

D. present France with a constitution.
