• The French Revolution of 1789 was indeed inspired by the ideas of liberty, equality, and fraternity, which challenged the absolute monarchy and the privileges of the nobility and the clergy. So, this is correct. ✅
  
  
• The French Revolution did not lead to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy under Louis XVI, but rather to his execution and the abolition of monarchy in 1792. A constitutional monarchy was briefly restored under Louis XVIII in 1814, after the fall of Napoleon. So, this is incorrect. ❌

Thus, the correct answer is option (A): Statement (i) is correct and (ii) is incorrect.
