Which event followed the discovery of the Katipunan?

• A. Philippine-American War
• B. Philippine Revolution
• C. Cavite Mutiny
• D. Spanish-American War

Answer: (B)

When the Katipunan is discovered, the plans for secret action become exposed and the leaders shift from clandestine organizing to an openly commanded push for independence. That immediate effect is the start of the Philippine Revolution against Spain, which erupted in 1896 and quickly spread as local uprisings joined the effort. The other events happened at different times: the Cavite Mutiny occurred decades earlier, in 1872; the Spanish-American War happened in 1898, and the Philippine-American War followed soon after, as conflict with the United States rather than Spain.
