D. \[{17^{th}}\] July

Answer 1

Hint: At first let’s discuss what led up to the Bastille invasion, and thus began the French Revolution? It is said that the inequality between the Third Estate and the other two territories, along with poverty and poverty, has led the Third Estate to attack the elite and demand a new constitution.

Complete answer:
As we know, the Bastille was built to defend a road east of the city of Paris from possible British invasion during the Great War. Construction was under way in \[1357\], but the main construction took place from \[1370\] onward, with the construction of a strong tower with eight towers defending the strategic gate to Porte Saint-Antoine on the east bank of Paris. The new design had a profound effect on France and England and was widely copied. The Bastille was most prominent in France's domestic conflicts, including the clashes between rival Burgundian and Armagnacs groups in the \[{15^{th}}\]century, and the Wars of Religion in the \[{16^{th}}\]century. The fort was declared a state prison in\[1417\]; this role was first extended under the English settlers of the \[1420s\] and \[1430s\], and then under Louis XI in the\[1460s\]. The defense of the Bastille was strengthened in response to the threat posed by the English and the Imperials in the\[1550s\], with a basin built east of the fort. The Bastille played a key role in the Fronde revolt and the feud of Santa-Antoine, which was fought under its walls in\[1652\]. It played a key role in the internal conflicts in France and much of its history was used as a state prison by French kings. The mob, attacked on \[July{\text{ }}14,{\text{ }}1789\], in the French Revolution, became a symbol of the French Republican party. It was later demolished and replaced with Peace de la Bastille.
So, the correct answer is Option B.

Note: The medieval castle, the armory, and the political prison in Paris known as the Bastille. Representing royal authority in the center of Paris. The prison had only seven inmates during its storm but was a symbol of the tyranny of the monarchy, its collapse being a beacon of French revolution.
