    • Peaceful

    Correct Answer
    A. Violent
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Violent" because the question is asking for the type of revolution that occurred in Libya. The word "violent" suggests that the revolution was characterized by intense and aggressive actions, such as protests, demonstrations, and armed conflict. This implies that there was a significant level of violence involved in the overthrow of the previous government and the establishment of a new order in Libya.

    Explanation
    During the revolution, Tripoli being Libya's capital was significant because capturing it would signify the end of the conflict.
