    Answer: B is correct.

    Explanation: but B is correct only in certain period of the Revolution. For example in 1789 nobody anticipated a republican form government. At the very beginning of the revolution the main aim was to limit king's powers (inspiration from Britain) and introduce constitutional monarchy. There was no intention to destroy the order, aristocracy, monarchy. There were people who wanted revolution but soon saw that things were going out of their hands (Mirabeau, Lafayette and others). It was especially during "Reign of Terror (Robespierre) where one can see an attempt to re-create society from scratch. That is something we cannot find in American Revolution.
