Because this group was 80 percent of France's population. This group paid half of their income to the nobles, tithes to the Church, and taxes to the king's agents.

Answer: the answer is D the second estate

Explanation: i would say “the second estate”. just because somebody was a noble, that didn’t necessarily mean that he would inherit the family land. the second son often joined the clergy while the first son usually inherited the estate.
