b. czar nicholas ii ordered russian police to suppress ethnic minorities and political radicals.

c. the communist bolsheviks were driven from power by more moderate leaders.

d. russia signed a peace treaty with germany and withdrew from world war i.

Explanation:

• Option A: The 1905 Revolution pressured Czar Nicholas II to create the Duma (parliament) and limit his autocratic power, which is a major effect.
• Option B: Suppressing minorities/radicals was not a direct major effect of the 1905 Revolution.
• Option C: The Bolsheviks came to power in 1917, and being driven from power in 1905 is incorrect.
• Option D: Russia withdrew from WWI in 1917 (Treaty of Brest - Litovsk), not related to 1905.

Answer:

A. The czar agreed to give up some power and create a Russian parliament.
