Answer 1

Answer:

(c) people's protest against high price of bread

Answer 2

(c) People’s protest against high price of bread.

Explanation:

Poor harvests, depressed economic conditions, sharply rising food prices and unemployment led to radicalization of political attitudes across Europe. People revolted against the autocracy as they wanted to protest against the high price of bread. This event influenced people's mindset in various parts of Europe where similar conditions persisted. So there was many revolutions that happened in Europe between 1830 and 1848.
