Based on the description, the response that best analyzes how Napoleon's new ruling class resembled feudalistic relationships of Louis XVI's time is:

Napoleon implemented a system in which he granted titles and land to people who would support him financially.

This resembles feudalistic relationships in Louis XVI's time as it reflects the granting of land and titles in exchange for loyalty and support, similar to how feudal lords granted land and titles to vassals in exchange for military service and loyalty.
