The correct answer is B. Vulnerable nobility trying to protect its privileges

Explanation:

Absolutism in France is known as a period of transition from Feudalism to Modern governments during the 17th and the 18th century. One of  the main causes of  absolutism in France was the conflicts arose by the Protestant Reformation during the 16th and 17th centuries, which created violent conflicts and an increase in Protestant and Secular population, because of this, the absolutism was considered as the solution to stop all the disorders, conflicts and wars caused by the Protestant Reformation as all the power was held by the monarch in an unlimited way. Thus, by imposing absolutism the monarch could decide on everything and avoid any conflict from the rest of the population, this implies absolutism emerged because nobilty felt threaten by the conflicts that emerged and did not wanted to lose the priviledges they had had for centuries.
