The song sung by volunteers from Marseilles later became famous by what name?

Correct answer: La Marseillaise

The governing historical fact concerns the political culture and symbols of the French Revolution. Volunteers from Marseille sang a patriotic revolutionary song while marching to Paris in 1792. It became known as “La Marseillaise,” named after the city associated with the volunteers, and later became the national anthem of France. Therefore option D is correct. “Carmagnole” was another revolutionary song, but it was not the name of this anthem. “Old Regime Song” is not the historical title, and “Jacobin Song” is only a vague invented description rather than the recognised name. The song’s importance also shows how music helped create revolutionary unity and national identity.
