Explanation
Answer - A - The 1789 French Revolution became radical when the peasants became involved.

Key Takeaway: The French Revolution was a time of great upheaval and radical change in the history of France.

This was largely spurred by peasants and students who fought for rights and privileges only guaranteed to the wealthy.
