If a peasant paid tithe which institution was involved?

Church

The governing concept is the institutional meaning of the tithe in pre-revolutionary France. Tithe was a religious payment associated with the Church and was commonly collected from peasants, often as a portion of agricultural produce or its value. It helped support the clergy and the functioning of Church institutions. Therefore option A is correct: a peasant paying tithe was meeting an obligation connected with the Church. The Navy was a state military institution and did not receive the tithe as a religious due. A university was an educational institution, and a trade guild represented particular urban occupations; neither was the normal recipient of this payment. The question asks which institution was involved, not which group might also have imposed another kind of burden. Peasants could face several obligations, including state taxes and feudal dues, but tithe specifically points to the Church.
