D. Chefs were able to open their own restaurants and make fine dining accessible to the public.

Explanation:

The aftermath of the French Revolution saw a change in the prominent cuisine then. Since the royalty was overthrown, a lot of royal chefs were no longer required and this development saw the surge of chefs in the public domain. These chefs opened their own restaurants and were innovative with their culinary skills.

They no longer cooked traditional meals or followed to the latter, the strict Escoffier's guidelines on cooking. That became the talk of the town, as people often talked about different chefs and their innovative styles of cooking. They were opposed by the Escoffier chefs who were not happy with the recent development.
