A Correct answer
Explanation

The National Assembly abolished the feudal system on August 4, 1789, in an emotional all-night session where nobles renounced their privileges. This decree ended centuries-old obligations, taxes, and feudal dues. The other dates (1774, 1791, 1793) are incorrect for this specific event.
