Solution

The correct option is C The Royal Family had spent a lot of money on waging wars against the British.
The Royal Family of France had depleted its treasury by leading extravagant lives, waging wars and supporting Americans against the British in the American War of Independence. They did not have money to spend on regular expenses like maintaining the army, the court, the university and government offices. They borrowed money from Lenders and ended up incurring three billion dollars in debt.
