The Reign of Terror did create a new calendar, but it was not to remove Sundays. The calendar was based on a decimal system and marked year one as the beginning of the French Republic. Sundays were still considered a day of rest. Option B is incorrect as there is no record of clocks being abolished during the Reign of Terror. Option C is false and there is no evidence that cats were targeted during this period. Option D is partially true but does not accurately represent the number of nobles who were executed or the extent of their mutilation. Option A is the most accurate answer as it reflects the historical significance of the Reign of Terror's calendar reform.
