"He ruled with absolute authority."
Explanation: Louis XVI was a symbol and wielder of the ancien régime's absolute monarchy. His resistance to meaningful political reform, privilege-based institutions (nobility/clergy), and ineffective handling of fiscal crises helped fuel popular anger that led to the Revolution. The other options are incorrect: he did not accumulate helpful reserves (royal spending and debt worsened the crisis), he did not make Protestantism the state religion (France remained officially Catholic), and he did not seek to abolish the class system.
