C. The common people paid all of the taxes but had none of the benefits.

Explanation: The French revolution started around the late Eigtheenth century during the rulership of King Louis XVI (1774-1793). During that period certain reforms were put in place which caused serious hardship on the poor and Peasants which were made to pay majority of the taxes while the clergy, Royalty and the influencial members of the society enjoyed all the benefits at the expense of the poor.
