Solution

The correct option is A Prison of Bastille
The Bastille prison was seen as a symbol of the despotic power of King Louis XVI. On 14 July, 1789, several hundred men and women marched towards the fortress-prison of Bastille. They stormed into the prison, and soon, a tussle ensued between the people and the prison guards. The commander of Bastille was killed. The people demolished the fortress, and the revolution had begun.
