Answer 1

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.
