Which sequence best shows the rising intensity of events in 1789?

Estates-General dispute → National Assembly oath → storming of the Bastille → rural revolt

The correct sequence is A because the crisis developed from a political dispute into organised popular action and then into wider revolt. The Estates-General met in May 1789, but disagreement over voting encouraged the Third Estate to declare itself the National Assembly. Its members took the Tennis Court Oath in June, promising not to separate until a constitution had been prepared. The storming of the Bastille on 14 July showed that ordinary people in Paris had entered the struggle directly. In the following weeks, rural communities attacked manor houses and destroyed feudal records during the Great Fear. Thus, option A shows a clear movement from institutional conflict to urban insurrection and then countryside rebellion. The other options reverse dates, include unrelated events, or place later events before earlier ones.
