a. the division of russia into new territories expanded its borders and increased its population.
b. the bolshevik party rose to power partly because of its fierce antiwar activism.
c. the internal conflict caused russia to seek help from its allies in fighting protestors.
d. the rise of the petrograd soviet party led to russias agreement to side with the allied powers.

Explanation:

The Bolshevik Party's anti - war stance was a significant factor in its rise to power during the 1917 Russian Revolution. After coming to power, they sought to withdraw Russia from World War I. Option A is incorrect as the revolution was not about expanding borders and population in that context. Option C is wrong because Russia's allies were focused on the war front, not helping with internal protests. Option D is incorrect since Russia was already on the side of the Allied powers before the revolution and the rise of the Petrograd Soviet was not the main reason for its alliance.

Answer:

B. The Bolshevik Party rose to power partly because of its fierce antiwar activism.
