While many Russian soldiers were on the front during World War I, most of those who remained behind responded to the February Revolution by "joining the riots instead of stopping them," although there were many loyal soldiers as well.

The correct answer is the following: option C. While many Russian soldiers were on the front during World War I, most of those who remained behind, responded to the February Revolution by joining the riots instead of stopping them. In 1917, the February Revolution began in Russia, when the scarcity of food led to riots and strikes in Petrograd, now known as St. Petersburg.

On March 8, 1917 many protestors took over the streets of Petrograd to protest against the lack of food available for Russia's citizens, and many of the protestors were part of the army, that was fighting in World War I at the same time. The participation of Russia in the War, was a huge component of the February Revolution, as Russians believed that their country was ill prepared to fight a war against industrialized Germany.
