Answer:

Liberty.

Step-by-step explanation:

The storming of Bastille was an event thaat occurred on July 14, 1789 in Paris, French. The people of France, unhappy with political matters, attacked the fortress Bastille, a fortress that was build during the Hundred Years' War in the fourteenth century.

On that same day, a prison in Paris was also attacked. These two places symbolized as a tyranny of French Government and thus was attacked by people.

This event came to represent 'liberty' of French people from France government. The motto of this event was epitomized by 'Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité.'

Thus correct answer is liberty.
