Answer:
C) the nobles who lived in luxury.
Explanation:
During the Ancien Régime (17th and 18th centuries), France was an agrarian country and with recent industrialization. In this period, the country faced a problematic moment of social injustice, especially because of the social division that was the same as the medieval times. The society governed by absolutism was divided into three classes: the Clergy (first state), Nobility (second state) and the Third State, composed of 95% of the population. Only 2.5% of the population was noble. Like the clergy, they paid no taxes and had access to public office. In this class were the king, his family, and the nobles who frequented the palace.
