The correct response to how the French Revolution was a response to Enlightenment philosophy ideas is:

**The French Revolution was a result of people questioning the authority of governments.**

This reflects the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason, individual rights, and the critique of traditional authority. Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau encouraged the idea that governments should be based on the consent of the governed and promoted the notion of natural rights, leading to widespread questioning of monarchal and authoritarian rule, which contributed significantly to the revolutionary movements in France.
