C. New forms of taxation to raise money.

Explanation:

During this period, new ways of taxation were developed. This responded to a change in society that took place during these centuries. Economics and finance became more sophisticated as feudalism transformed into capitalism and new economists arose. These changes led to new theories about the use of resources in society, eventually leading to a better implementation of taxation, and with it, stronger central governments.
