Solution

The correct option is C 1848
Towards the later half of 18th century, the National Assembly discussed extending the rights of man to all French subjects, including the colonies, but did not pass any resolution. In 1794, it was legislated and slavery was abolished. But Napoleon reintroduced it during his regime.

In 1848, slavery was finally abolished in France and its colonies.
