Answer 1

The correct option is C People's protests against the shortage and high prices of bread

People protested against the overpricing of bread which made them starve and rebel against the king. In 1789, the streets of France witnessed the marching of thousands of women. They marched from Paris to the palace of Versailles, shouting "give us bread" because of the food shortage in the country. This event instigated a revolution.
