○ in tunisia, a pro - democracy uprising led to a mostly peaceful revolution. in egypt and libya, uprisings led to civil war.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the events during the Obama presidency in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia:

• Tunisia's Arab Spring uprising was mostly peaceful and led to a democratic transition.
• Egypt's uprising (against Mubarak) was mostly peaceful initially, leading to a revolution (though later had more turmoil, but the initial phase was peaceful).
• Libya's uprising against Gaddafi led to civil war with foreign intervention.

Now we check the options:

• Option 1: "In Egypt and Tunisia, pro - democracy uprisings led to a mostly peaceful revolution. In Libya, it led to civil war." This matches the historical events.
• Option 2: Claims Libya and Tunisia had civil war, which is wrong (Tunisia's was peaceful).
• Option 3: Claims Egypt had civil war, which is incorrect for the initial uprising phase.
• Option 4: Claims Egypt and Libya had civil war (Egypt's initial uprising was peaceful) and Tunisia's was the only peaceful one, which is not accurate as Egypt's initial was also mostly peaceful.

Answer:

A. In Egypt and Tunisia, pro - democracy uprisings led to a mostly peaceful revolution. In Libya, it led to civil war.
