The best answer is C: The failure of the Old Regime’s Estate System.
While Louis XVI's leadership style and Napoleon's later actions played significant roles in the broader context of French history, the fundamental causes of the French Revolution were primarily rooted in the social and economic inequalities of the Old Regime, particularly the rigid Estate System, which divided society into different classes with varying privileges and burdens.
