With whom could French peasants be dissatisfied in the late eighteenth century?

State, Church, and feudal lords

The governing concept is the multiple burden placed on French peasants before the Revolution. Peasants commonly faced state taxes, the Church tithe, and feudal dues or obligations owed to lords. They could also be affected by rents, labour services, and rising food prices, although the exact burden varied by locality. Consequently, option A is correct because it identifies the three major institutions or groups connected with the obligations that generated rural dissatisfaction: the state, the Church, and feudal lords. Options B, C, and D are too narrow and do not represent the main structure of peasant grievances. The question does not mean that every peasant disliked each institution in exactly the same way; it asks which groups could reasonably be sources of dissatisfaction. The broader lesson is that rural discontent had several connected causes rather than a single enemy.
