Question

Explanation:

The French Revolution became radical due to external threats (such as war with other European powers) and internal divisions (among different revolutionary factions). These factors led revolutionaries to take extreme measures. Option A is incorrect as revolutionary leaders did not prioritize peace above all. Option C is wrong because the king did not quickly accept all reforms. Option D is false as the French economy was in a bad state, not experiencing success.

Answer:

B. Foreign threats and internal divisions pushed revolutionaries to extremes.
