The correct answer is B) Louis XV.

<em>Louis XV was advised not to tax the people so heavily by the dying King. He did not follow this advice and fought several expensive wars. He also lived in luxury and he did not govern wisely. </em>

Louis XV (1715-1774) was the King of France. He belonged to the House of Bourbon. He ruled France territory since 1715. When King Louis XIV died, Louis XV was a child an had to wait to be 13 years-old to assume the throne. Meanwhile, France was ruled by Philippe II, Duke of Orleans. During his tenure as King of France he spent a lot of money in wars, he lived in luxury while its people were suffereing from poverty, and this created the scenario for the French Revolution to come.
