C. To continue to work until France had a constitution.

Explanation:

The tennis court oath was a pledge signed by the members of third estate during the early days of french revolution. It was a revolutionary act as it showed that the political authority came from people not from the monarchy,

They vowed not to separate until they have completed the constitution of the kingdom. It was an important event in french revolution.

The oath was drafted by Emmanuel Sieyes and Jean Sylvian Bailly. It was signed by 576 deputies and was taken on 20th June 1789.
