"The Second Estate paid the least amount of taxes and had the most power."
Explanation: the Second Estate (nobility) enjoyed tax exemptions and many legal and feudal privileges, held high offices and influence at court, and controlled much land — while the Third Estate (bourgeoisie, urban workers, peasants) bore the tax burden. Options 2–4 are incorrect (the Second Estate was small, clergy were the First Estate, and the nobles did not want to share wealth equally).
