Answer 1

The statement that is NOT true about the Eiffel Tower is c. that it represented Eiffel's distaste for French history; there is no evidence to support such a claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

The option that is NOT true of the Eiffel Tower is c. It represented Eiffel’s distaste for French history. Gustave Eiffel was a successful French engineer who, during the time of the industrial revolution, built the Eiffel Tower, which represented modernism, France’s industrial power, and provided a new view of Paris. However, there is no historical evidence to suggest that the Eiffel Tower represented any distaste for French history. On the contrary, Eiffel himself compared the tower to the grandeur of the Egyptian pyramids, signaling respect for iconic historical structures.
