Answer:

A. Unfair tax practices of the French Monarchy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Monarch is a government that rules the society and powerful king or queen headed it. The monarch ruling controlled all the social aspect. Therefore the ruler had absolute power on the community. This involved placing people in various estates power for instance nobility peasants or clergy.

The medieval absolute monarchy had a practice of divine right; this means that monarch attained its power from the gods. This, therefore, increased the monarchy power since it ensured the leaders did not gain their skills through people, and thus, people had no control or said in their ruling.
