The correct answer is option A. A small group of centrists tried to get the Jacobins and the Conservatives to compromise on the main idea that a republic was a better government form than a constitutional monarchy. The French Revolution began in 1789 and lasted until late 1970, and it was characterized for the uprising of the French citizens in order to design the political structure that the country should adopt. The Jacobins were the group that was associated with a "left-wing" way of thinking, while the Conservatives were associated to the "right-wing". The centrists were, as the name describes, the group of citizens that were moderate in their thoughts and beliefs.
