Answer:

D. Wollstonecraft was outraged that the Revolution did not provide

equal education for women.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary Wollstonecraft's response to the French Revolution "was an outrage against the Revolution because it did not provide equal education for women."

While Mary Wollstonecraft supported the French Revolution on one side, she disagreed with it on the other aspects particularly in the area of women's rights and equal education.

This is evident in 1792 when in her book titled "A Vindication of the Rights of Woma." She wrote that women should not be considered less human beings than men, but rather should be given the same fundamental rights - the rights of the Revolution, including the right of equal education
