The correct answer is

Revolutions are more likely when important groups of actors’ rational calculation of interests change so that revolutionary participation seems rational

Relative deprivation theory of revolution (James C. Davies' J-curve, 1962; Ted Robert Gurr, Why Men Rebel, 1970) is a social-psychological theory: revolt grows out of the gap between what people expect and what they actually get.

Dissatisfaction of important groups with the status quo due to rising expectations is the core of the theory; discontent linked to social inequality is the deprivation it describes; and social psychological dynamics (frustration leading to aggression) are its very basis. So these three are important parts of the theory.

The idea that revolution happens when actors' rational calculation of interests changes so that participation seems rational belongs to rational choice / collective action approaches, which explain revolt through cost-benefit reasoning, not through felt deprivation.

Hence, the factor that is not part of relative deprivation theory is that revolutions are more likely when important groups of actors’ rational calculation of interests change so that revolutionary participation seems rational.
