Answer 1

The correct option is A The royal standard flag

From the beginning of the French Revolution, several measures were introduced that led to the development of a common national French identity. French was made the common language. The royal standard was replaced by a new tricolour flag. New hyms were sung and matyrs lives were commemorated. A centralised administrative system with uniform laws was introduced. Uniform weights and measures were adopted for all of France.
