Correct:
C
Explanation
The National Convention was established in 1792, marking the debut of the First Republic after the downfall of the monarchy [4]. Option 1 is incorrect because the Napoleonic Code (Civil Code) was issued in 1804, not 1789 [2]. Option 2 is incorrect as the Tennis Court Oath took place on June 20, 1789, when the Third Estate pledged to establish a constitution, rather than in 1791 [1]. Option 4 is incorrect because 1804 was the year Napoleon was crowned Emperor and the Napoleonic Code was promulgated, while the major revolutionary constitutions were adopted in 1791, 1793, 1795, and 1799. Therefore, the only correctly matched pair is 1792 with the National Convention, which governed France during the radical phase of the revolution.
