The correct option is C

The French Revolution was a social and political conflict, with various periods of violence, which convulsed France and, by extension of its implications, other nations of Europe that faced supporters and opponents of the system known as the Old Regime. It began with the self-proclamation of the Third State as a National Assembly in 1789 and ended with the coup d'état of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799.

In general terms, there were several factors that influenced the Revolution:

• A monarchical regime that would succumb to its own rigidity in the context of a changing world, and that, after several attempts to adopt measures to tackle the political and economic crisis, capitulated before the violent reaction of the nobility and some provincial parliaments as the one from Grenoble (Jornada de las Tejas);

• The exasperation of the urban popular classes and the peasantry, impoverished by the rise in prices - in particular of cereals and bread, the basis of food - and by the continuous increase in taxes and seigneurial and royal rights. The tithe charged by the clergy hardly served to maintain the cult and help the poor. The peasantry also answered the origin of the property rights and feudal servitudes (collected in the so-called "books terriers"), which seemed abusive and unjust;

• The economic regression and the cyclical agricultural crises (the one that broke out in 1788 was the most violent of all the eighteenth century), aggravated by the bad harvests in the years that preceded the Revolution;
