Which happened at the congress of vienna and 1815

The Congress of Vienna deprived France of its recent acquisitions and added land to other countries, such as Austria, who gained Venice, with the purpose of establishing strong powers in Europe which would counterbalance each other and thus keep peace.

The correct answer is C.

The spoils system is a political strategy performed by a political party when it arrives to power. It consists on placing supporters, friends and relatives, in civil service positions, as a reward for helping in the road towards victory. It is totally opposite to a merit-based system.

When a new party or president arrived to office, the turnover was very elevated. For example, when the presidency of Jackson started 919 officials were removed. Such a system could not continue operating, therefore a separation was established, and the political leaders could not appoint civil servants anymore.
