c. The Treaty of Versailles, based only in part on Wilson's Fourteen Points, was written to destroy Germany's power and prevent future wars.

True.

d. The League of Nations attempted to ensure peace in the future by encouraging collective action in the event of aggression, but it included few provisions for ensuring compliance.

All these statements are true.

Right there at the Versailles Palace, close to Paris, France, the representatives of the countries involved signed the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919. The Treaty of Versailles represented the formal peace agreement to end the hostilities of World War I.

However, the peace terms of the treaty create a bad feeling and resentment on the part of Germany that served as arguments years later when Adolph Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 to start another international conflict: World War II.
