Explanation:

The French Revolution was sparked by long - standing conflict between the people and the monarchy. The guillotine was a later instrument, the cry "Let them eat cake!" is misattributed and didn't initiate the revolution, and the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789 marked the start, but the root cause was the conflict. The Jacobins came into prominence later in the revolution.

Answer:

A. Conflict between the people and the French monarchy sparked revolution.
