Chopin's Etude in C minor, Op. 10, No. 12, also known as the "Revolutionary Etude," is primarily a polyphonic composition. It features multiple independent melodic lines playing simultaneously, rather than a single melody accompanied by chords, which is characteristic of homophonic texture.
Yes, Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" in C minor has sections that exhibit a homophonic texture, where the melody is supported by chords played in the accompaniment. This texture is particularly evident in the more forceful and dramatic passages of the piece.

This is actually a fascinating question. I suppose that technically, it could be called polyphonic, since the left hand is technically playing a counter-melody throughout. However, the nature and feel of the left hand part still suggests a secondary, supportive role, with the right hand part clearly being the main focus melody. So I'd say that the texture qualifies as homophonic. And, of course, those runs down where both hands are playing the same thing would be monophonic.
