Option: A. they put more power in the hands of the king.

Explanation:

Before the French Revolution, society divided into the old order of estates. The first and second estates, aristocrats and clergy, who enjoyed the right in the realm by holding law and not paying taxes. The bourgeoisie came under the third estate, who paid all the taxes in France and enjoyed little privileges in the society. The French aristocrats to hold power and ranks introduced fiefs that gave more authority in the hands of the king.
