Answer 1

Hint - The Bastille was a symbol of social injustice, inequality, and absolute monarchy. Bastille, on the east side of the medieval fortress that became Paris, in the 17th and 18th centuries, a french state prison and a place of detention for important persons charged with various crimes. The French Revolution in the early days of the Bastille, by an armed mob of Parisians, was a symbol of the autocracy of the ruling Bourbon monarchy and held an important place in the ideology of the revolution.

Complete answer:
 With its eight towers, 100 ft (30 m) high, attached to walls of equal height, and surrounded by a trench more than 80 ft (24 m) wide, the Bastille dominates Paris. The first stone was laid on April 22, 1370, at the behest of the Charles V of France, who had built it as one of Beste, or Durg (the name of Bastille is the abyss of Bastille), to protect his wall around Paris against the English attack for. The Bastille was, in fact, originally a fort gate, but Charles VI transformed it into an independent stronghold, the opening wall. The construction of a citadel in 1557 completed its defensive system on the east coast. A transverse block was built in the 17th century, dividing the inner court into disparate parts.
In the 17th century, Cardinal de Richelieu was the first to use the Bastille as a state prison; The annual average number of prisoners was 40, who was placed under house arrest, a direct order of the King of Claire de Cachet, of which there was no repetition. Prisoners include political troublemakers and individuals held at the request of their families, often to engage a young member in obedience or to prevent a disputed member from marrying in the name of the family. Under Louis XIV Bastille became a place of judicial custody in which Lieutenant DE Police could hold prisoners; Duc d'Orléans, persons being tried by the Parliament, under the regency of Philip II, were also detained there. Imprisonment by Lettre de Cachet, however, in force, and prohibited books were also kept in the Bastille. The high cost of maintenance of the building led to the demolition in 1784.

So option C is the correct answer.

Note - On the morning of July 14, 1789, when only seven prisoners were imprisoned in the building, the mob surged over the Bastille with the intention of asking the prison governor, Bernard Jordan, marquis de Launay, to leave the arms and cantonments stored there. Angry by the eviction of Lunay, the people stormed and occupied the place; This dramatic action marks the end of the rule of the ancients. The Bastille was later demolished by the order of the revolutionary government. Bastille Day celebrated annually on 14 July, was chosen in 1880 as a French national holiday.
