Correct answer:
Rasputin was a faith healer who had undue influence over the tsarina and the government, which many Russian citizens resented.

Brief explanation:
Rasputin’s closeness to Tsarina Alexandra and the perception that he influenced ministerial appointments and policy (especially during WWI when the tsar was at the front) damaged the monarchy’s reputation. Rumors of corruption, moral decay, and incompetence helped erode public trust in the government and strengthened revolutionary and oppositional sentiment, contributing to the collapse of imperial authority in 1917.
