Solution

The correct option is B Maximilian Robespierre
Robespierre, the leader of the Jacobin club, followed a policy of strict control and punishment. He arrested, imprisoned and then tried all the people he saw as enemies of the republic. Robespierre implemented his policies so strictly that even his supporters wanted him to relax the policies. Finally, he was convicted by a court in July 1794, arrested and sent to the guillotine.
