  2. bThe fleur-de-lisLa fleur de lys
  3. cMarianneMarianneCorrect answer
  4. dThe imperial eagleL’aigle impérial

Why?

Marianne, a woman wearing the Phrygian cap (bonnet phrygien), represents the Republic. You can see her bust in town halls and her face on stamps and official documents. The Eiffel Tower is a famous monument but not a symbol of the Republic, and the fleur-de-lis was the symbol of the kings.
