Solution

The correct option is C Third
Before the French Revolution, the French society was divided into three estates. The First estate comprised the clergy, the Second estate comprised the nobility. These two states were exempted from paying of taxes. And the third estate comprised of peasants, wage-laborers and they had to pay all the taxes, therefore, the third estate was the least prosperous.
