Answer:

Option: b) Raise taxes to pay off a growing debt

Explanation:

The Estates-General was an assembly of delegates from all three of the estates (clergy, nobility, and commoners). The purpose of the meeting of the Estates-General in 1789 was to reflect on the increasing debt. The debt led the monarchy and the government to raise taxes. A debate on new taxes led to discontent among the people of the Third Estate because they had to pay high taxes while the other two enjoyed the rights and power in France.
