The correct answer should be She embarked on a program of reform of government, law, and education.

This is because she was a follower of enlightenment ideals that were popular throughout Europe. She used them to reform the country introducing many new laws that protected people, especially nobility, and prevented harsh exploitation by emperors through laws that limited power of the ruler.
