    Option: C. The National Convention convicted the monarchies of conspiracy and sentenced them to death.

    Explanation:

    The National convention was responsible for sending monarchies to the guillotine after declaring them being conspiracy with foreign powers. Louis XVI's policies and lack in response to the financial situation in the empire led to the rise of the French Revolution. Louis guillotined in 1793, followed by Marie Antoinette, his wife after nine months.
