The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

- Born in West Africa (in what is today Senegal), Phillis Wheatley was bought as a slave around 1760.

- Slavery in Vermont was banned in 1777. According to Chapter I of the Constitution of the State of Vermont: "no male person, born in this country, or brought from over sea, ought to be holden by law, to serve any person, as a servant, slave or apprentice, after he arrives to the age of twenty-one years, nor female, in like manner, after she arrives to the age of eighteen years, unless they are bound by their own consent, after they arrive to such age, or bound by law, for the payment of debts, damages, fines, costs, or the like."

- The French Revolution is generally accepted to have started on 14 July 1789, with the storming of the Bastille.
