Solution

The correct option is C the third estate
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Each estate was considered to be a single group with single vote. The members of the third estate outnumbered the first two estates, so they demanded individual member votes. Following a lot of commotion and arguments, the members of the third estate declared themselves as the 'National Assembly of France'. They assembled in a tennis court and swore not to leave until they had framed a constitution of France. This event is known as the 'Tennis Court Oath'.
