The importance of a social contract. A and D don't make sense because the French Revolution occured due to the lower classes' frustrations over how little their hard work paid off under the rule of an absolute monarch. B kind of falls under C - the French ended up wanting Napoleon because he promised social reforms which would lead to more toleration. However, the MORE ACCURATE answer here would be a social contract. Remember that a great influence for the French Revolution was the American Revolution, where the US version of a "social contract" was their coveted Democratic Constitution. That's what the French were trying to work towards in their struggle to overthrow their monarchic government.
