Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Educated people across Europe, particularly those involved in Enlightenment ideas, were interested and supportive of the French Revolution. However, most governments were against it because they feared the spread of revolutionary ideas and the possibility of their own citizens rising up against them. The revolution also created tension and conflict between European powers, leading to the wars of the French Revolution and Napoleon's empire.
