The correct answers are option c "to prevent labor union activities in the country" and option e "to put an end to the Solidarity organization". The martial law in Poland went from December 1981 to July 1983 and was imposed by the authoritarian communist government in that country. The main reason for this martial law was to stop the political opposition of the government, and they do it so by the oppression of the people including declaring the Solidarity movement illegal and suspending the free labor union

e. to put an end to the Solidarity organization.
