Napoleon attempted to weaken Britain by b. imposing an embargo, known as the Continental System, to disrupt British trade in Europe. However, it was not fully effective due to lax enforcement and Britain's ability to find trade loopholes.

In order to weaken Britain, Napoleon embargoed England. This strategic move was part of the Continental System, which was an economic blockade aimed at disrupting Britain's trade by barring British goods from Europe. Unable to confront the superior British navy after the defeat at the Battle of Trafalgar, Napoleon sought to undermine Britain economically. However, the embargo was not entirely successful. Other European leaders, including some related to Napoleon, were lax in enforcing it, allowing Britain to find loopholes and continue trading. Furthermore, Napoleon's military campaigns, such as the invasion of the Iberian Peninsula, drew his resources away from enforcing the Continental System and into prolonged conflicts like the guerrilla war in Spain.

Napoleon aimed to weaken Britain primarily through the Continental System, which was an embargo on British goods to disrupt its economy. While he attempted other strategies, such as military threats, the economic blockade stands out as his key method. Therefore, the best answer is option B, 'embargoed England.'
