King Louis XVI's attitude toward the French Revolution changed over time, but at the outset, he was initially more aligned with option A. He admired the revolution's principles, especially the idea of constitutional monarchy and the pursuit of liberty and equality. However, as the revolution progressed and radical elements gained prominence, his suspicions increased, and he faced challenges with the revolutionaries. Eventually, his reluctance to fully embrace the revolutionary changes and his perceived opposition to the new order contributed to his downfall, leading to his execution in 1793.
