What does the continuation of demonstrations despite curfew show about Tsarist rule?

Correct answer: The capacity of repression could not stop public anger

The governing concept is the weakening of state authority when coercive measures fail to restore order. A curfew is intended to restrict movement and discourage public assembly. If demonstrations continue despite it, the event suggests that popular anger has become stronger than the government’s immediate ability to enforce obedience. Option B is correct because it shows the limits of Tsarist repression and the depth of public dissatisfaction. Option A says the opposite of what continued protest indicates. Option C is unsupported; the Duma did not end the movement simply because demonstrations continued. Option D is also illogical, since ongoing unrest is consistent with unresolved shortages and grievances, not proof that the bread crisis had disappeared.
