Explanation:

Question 1

The Directory was the government of France at the end of the French Revolution. Option a is incorrect as it's not just a list of rulers. Option b is incorrect as it didn't advise the king (the monarchy was overthrown). So option c is correct.

The period before the Directory in the French Revolution was known as the Reign of Terror, characterized by mass executions. The other options are not the correct term for that period.

During the Directory, the executive branch was the Five Directors. The Council of Five Hundred and Council of Ancients were legislative, and the other options are incorrect.

Answer:

c. The government of France at the end of the French Revolution
