The correct answer is letter C: Build schools and universities accessible to the middle class.

Napoleon Bonaparte built schools and universities with the aim of having a well-educated and prosperous society. He decided to establish French as the only official language. He left some primary education schools in the hands of religious orders, but he left public education in secondary schools. He wanted to establish a system of public education to produce a standardized education across France.
