C
The Conference of Ambassadors was able to solve the conflict
D
Greece got what it wanted
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The League ordered a ceasefire, Greek troops to withdraw from Bulgaria and Greece to pay £45, 000 to Bulgaria.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the reasons why the League was more successful in the 1920s than the 1930s was simply because the Great Depression changed the circumstances of these countries-actually, it wasn’t completely successful in the 1920s, partly due to weaknesses in its own structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -It stopped some wars – e.g. it arbitrated between Sweden and Finland over the Aaland Islands (1921) and stopped the invasion of Bulgaria by Greece (1925). In 1928, the League arranged the Kellogg-Briand Pact, which outlawed war. The League also took 400, 000 Prisoners of War home and set up refugee camps.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Bulgarians asked the League for help and the League ordered both armies to stop fighting and that the Greeks should pull out of Bulgaria. The League then sent experts to the area and decided that Greece was to blame and fined her £45, 000. Both nations accepted the decision.
