Answer: B. England established a constitutional monarchy, while in France the monarchy was ended and replaced with a republic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was a calm revolution that saw the removal of King James II who was a Catholic at a time the country was Protestant. King James was replaced by his daughter, Mary and her husband of Dutch royalty, William of Orange. After this revolution, the royals were forced to share power with Parliament which therefore transformed England into a Constitutional Monarchy.

When the French Revolution happened however, it was long and bloody and ended in the entire overthrow of the French monarchy with the King, Louis XVI, being executed along with his wife, Marie Antoinette.
