Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The French Revolution initially abolished slavery in France in 1794, but it was restored by Napoleon in 1802. It wasn't until 1848, after decades of anti-slavery activism and a new wave of revolution, that slavery was abolished in French colonies. Therefore, the French Revolution ultimately led to the abolition of slavery in the colonies, with the abolition in France itself being a temporary setback.
