Which option correctly shows not double but triple economic obligation of a peasant?

State, Church and feudal lord

The correct answer is D because a peasant in pre-revolutionary France could be burdened by three different kinds of obligation. The state demanded direct taxes to finance administration, war and the monarchy. The Church commonly received the tithe, a payment traditionally connected with agricultural production. In addition, peasants owed feudal dues or services to the lord of the manor, based on inherited customary rights. These were separate demands, so the burden was triple rather than merely double. Option A lists people, not the three institutional sources of dues. Options B and C do not describe the taxation and feudal structure of rural France. The key concept is the layered inequality of the Old Regime.
