Answer:
The correct answer for the above question is option (d) Maximilian Robespierre
Explanation:
The period from 1793 to 1794 is referred to as the Reign of Terror.
Robespierre followed a policy of severe control and punishment. All those whom he saw as being ‘enemies’ of the republic – ex-nobles and clergy, members of other political parties, even members of his own party who did not agree with his methods – were arrested, imprisoned and then tried by a re volutionary tribunal. If the court found them ‘guilty’ they were guillotined.
