A. is incorrect. The Reign of Terror was purely domestic.

B. is incorrect because the Committee on Public Safety actually incited the Reign of Terror rather than stopping it.

C. is correct. The Committee was formed in order to protect the new republic from outside invasion and internal rebellion. However, they created even worse conditions which led to the ascension of an absolute ruler.

D. is incorrect. Napoleon helped end the Reign of Terror by establishing absolute rule of France under his command.
