The correct option is D The monarchy reign of Louis XVI was compassionate towards the common people.
Louis XVI used to be under the control of his wife, Marie Antoinette. She believed strongly in the Divine Right theory of Kingship. This theory stated that the king was God's representative on earth and therefore pardoned from any actions as the king was accountable to God and nobody else.
