Which statement correctly explains the dual role of the Church?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The Church was a religious institution and, as a privileged body, also collected tithe
In France, the Church performed religious functions, but it was not merely a religious body.

Therefore, option B correctly states both its religious and economic-privileged roles. Option A is incorrect because the Church had income and privileges. Exam tip: remember tithe as a tax collected by the Church.
