Option a - Maximilien Robespierre was  the individual who oversaw the Reign of Terror. He was eventually named a traitor himself and guillotined.

• He received his education in Paris and went into the same line of work as his father.
• He was chosen to serve as the estates-deputy general's
• Robespierre's opposition to the monarchy and support for democratic reforms led to an increase in his popularity.
• It was chosen to lead the influential Jacobin political club in April 1790.
• Robespierre was elected first deputy for Paris to the National Convention after the monarchy was overthrown in August 1792.
• In response to the threat of invasion from abroad and the growing unrest in the nation, the committee started the "Reign of Terror," ruthlessly eliminating anyone seen as an enemy of the revolution.
• Leading revolutionary personalities like Georges Danton were among them.
• Robespierre requested that the National Convention make the cult of the Supreme Being the new official religion of France in May 1794.
• Based on the ideas of philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, for whom Robespierre had a deep admiration.
• Robespierre's authoritarianism and the escalation of the "Reign of Terror" made him less and less popular.
• The excuse for such savagery was undermined by French military victories, and a plot to topple Robespierre was hatched.
• After a battle, he was taken into custody on July 27, 1794.
• The next day, Robespierre, who had suffered a gunshot wound to the jaw, together with 21 of his closest allies, were put to death by the guillotine.
