Answer: b) liberty

The storming of the Bastille, a fortress and political prison in Paris, occurred on July 14, 1789. It is often considered the event that marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The prison represented the royal authority of the King, and its storming has come to represent the liberty that the French people were seeking, as exemplified by the motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité."
