Answer
A
Saddam Hussein fell from power.
B
President Bush’s popularity soared.
C
oil prices fell to an all-time low.
D
Kuwaiti soldiers set Iraqi oil wells on fire.

Explanation

The 1991 Gulf War ended with Iraqi forces driven out of Kuwait, and President George H. W. Bush’s popularity rose sharply after the coalition victory. Saddam Hussein remained in power, so A is incorrect. Iraqi troops—not Kuwaiti soldiers—set oil wells on fire, and oil prices did not fall to an all-time low as a result of the war.
