Answer - B - The main problem that Louis XVI had to deal with in the late 1780s was that the monarchy was bankrupt.

Key Takeaway: Louis XVI ruled as King of France from 1774 until 1792. Dealing with the aftermath of the Seven Years War and the French Revolution, Louis had to deal with financial turmoil and bankruptcy-both within the monarchy and in the country as a whole. Louis XVI attempted to flee France to get out of his situation, but he was arrested during the Insurrection in 1792. He was tried by the National Convention, who found him to be guilty of treason, and was executed by guillotine in 1793.
