Explanation
Answer - C - The sans-culottes of the French Revolution were radical revolutionaries from the urban mob.

Key Takeaway: The term “sans-culottes” came to refer to the ill-equipped volunteers of the Revolutionary army during the early years of the French Revolution. The sans-culottes were, for the most part, members of the poorer classes or leaders of the populace. During the Reign of Terror, however, many public functionaries and persons of good education styled themselves citoyens sans-culottes in support of the revolutionaries.
