B Correct answer
Explanation

Napoleon Bonaparte was born in Ajaccio, Corsica in 1769, which was then under Genoese control but was sold to France the year before his birth. Paris, Lombardy, and Milan are all incorrect - Napoleon would later conquer Lombardy and made Paris his capital, but was born neither in France nor Italy.
