The correct answer is:

B) Louis XIV waged wars to achieve his goals.

Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, is famous for his ambitious military campaigns, which aimed to expand French territory and influence. Options A, C, and D do not accurately represent the realities of his reign. While some citizens may have thrived, many suffered from the consequences of his wars and extravagant spending. Louis XIV lived a lavish lifestyle and ruled as an absolute monarch without a system of checks and balances.
