Solution

The correct option is B Herbert
During the Reign of Terror, Robespierre and the Jacobins had established a state religion called the 'Cult of the Supreme Being'. Herbert, meanwhile, promoted the 'Cult of Reason' and wanted to host the Festival of Liberty and Reason in the Notre Dame cathedral. Robespierre was vehemently against Herbert's views, and ordered Herbert and his supporters to be executed.
