Explanation:

Option 1 is incorrect. Though factually correct, the ability to travel and settle in the American continent did not lead to a revolution. In other words, it does not answer the question. Eliminate option 1. Option 2 is correct. Paragraph 4 states: “… I am still waiting to see if the iPhone can do what the printing press did for religion and democracy… the Geneva museum makes a strong case that the printing press opened more minds than anything else… it’s hard to imagine the French or American revolutions without those enlightened voices in print….”  Retain option 2.
Option 3 is incorrect. While it is true that the printing press ‘broke the monopoly that the clerics had on scripture, and later stirred the American colonies to rise up against a king and establish a nation”, the writer does not term it as a revolution. The question is about how the French and American revolutions are related to the invention of the printing press. Eliminate option 3.
Option 4 is incorrect. Though option 4 looks plausible, the printing press did not directly make revolutionary strategies and opinions to the people. The medium should not be confused with the content – hence we can eliminate option 4.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
