Explanation:

To determine the fate of Confederate soldiers at the end of the Civil War, we refer to the text about the Surrender at Appomattox. It states that when the Confederation surrendered, they were paroled, allowed to keep their weapons, and return home. The first option describes harsh treatment (imprisonment, family issues, loss of homes) which is incorrect. The second option (forced to leave the country and give up money) is also incorrect. The third option matches the historical account from the text.
