Why will understanding the outbreak be incomplete if people's role is omitted?

Because the Bastille attack, the Great Fear, and the Versailles march were popular actions

The governing concept is that revolutions are shaped by interaction between political representatives and ordinary people. The constitutional dispute began among representatives, but it gained force through collective action in towns and villages. Parisians attacked the Bastille, peasants acted during the Great Fear, and women marched to Versailles over bread and political accountability. These actions pressured institutions and the monarchy, helping turn a political crisis into a wider revolution. Option A is correct because it identifies three major popular interventions. Options B and C deny the historical evidence, while D falsely presents the Church as the decisive force blocking popular action.
