Answer:
The correct answer is D) The French government had helped fund the American Revolution.
Explanation:
Louix XVI was already unpopular among the masses and his royal expenses coupled with a liberal economic policy had led to inflation and even food shortages. Peasants were revolting against him but he managed to stay in power.
However, things went out of control when he decided to fund the American revolutionary wars against British rule in it's colonies.
While France eventually succeeded and the colonies became independent, the national debt of the country reached an unsustainable level.
