Answer: the Tennis Court Oath.
Why: The Tennis Court Oath (20 June 1789) by the Third Estate’s deputies helped radicalize the revolution and alarm the king, leading to troop movements and popular fear of a royal crackdown — a direct catalyst for the 14 July 1789 storming of the Bastille.
Why the others are wrong:
- Louis XVI’s attempted flight (Flight to Varennes) happened in 1791, after the Bastille.
- The rise of Napoleon occurred years later and did not cause the 1789 event.
- The Reign of Terror (1793–94) was also after the Bastille and therefore not a cause.
