The correct answer is C.

In order to understand the depth of the changes which want to be promoted, reform movements are generally defined in opposition to revolutionary movements.

Reforms are implemented within an established system, in order to seek certain improvements. On the contrary, a revolution consists on an structural change which affects the system as a whole, and susbstitutes its power or organizational structures in a very short period of time. A revolution brings a complete overhaul in society.
