Answer 2

B. The name was changed to Haiti from Saint-Domingue.

The fact that the name was changed did not trigger Haiti's fight for independendence because the name change was only possible after the revolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Haitian Revolutions allowed for the French colony of Saint-Domingue's name be changed to Haiti “The Island’s original name”.

The French colony in Saint-Domingue began in the 17th century as a pirate outpost. In the late 18th century. The unrest in what became Haiti started in 1789 when some slaves heard a rumor that the King of France had freed them and a massive slave revolt broke out. Slaves complained that the conditions in the sugar plantations were brutal.
