Key Points

Marie Antoinette was born in 1755 in Vienna, Austria, and was executed in 1793 at Place de Concorde, Paris, France. Hence option 4 is correct.
She was the last and youngest daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor of Francis I (Austria).
- She was the last queen of France before the french revolution (1789-1799).
- She was very young when she came to France to marry Louis XVI.
- Her welcome in France was increasingly viewed with suspicion by the French people who had not forgotten their long-standing enmity with the House of Austria.
She was known as Madame Deficit because the country's financial crisis was blamed on her lavish expenditure and her opposition to social and financial reforms.
Louis XVI became the king in 1774 and it was under him the long-accumulated evils and anomalies of absolutism rose to a threshold.
