The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Emmanuel Macron won the French presidential election in May 2017 and was set to take office on 14 May 2017.
At the time, Macron was the leader of the political movement "La République En Marche!" and became the youngest President in French history at the age of 39.
Option (b) Francois Fillon was a centre-right candidate in the 2017 elections but did not advance to the final round.
Option (c) Marine Le Pen was Macron’s main rival in the second round, representing the far-right National Front, but she lost with about 33.9% of the vote.
Option (d) Francois Hollande was the outgoing president at the time and did not seek re-election.
Macron’s victory marked a shift in French politics, as he positioned himself outside the traditional left-right party structure, promoting centrist policies and pro-European Union reforms.
