Answer 1

Hint: Let's discuss from the beginning. In the eighteenth century, a new group started to emerge in the French Society. This group was opposed to the ideas of royalty; granting rights on the basis of birth. However, this new group considered that the royalty has given too much importance to human qualities. And qualification should be the basis of one's social status.

Complete answer:
In medieval European society, the "middle class" made up mainly of farmers who established new "capitalists" based on the success of their businesses, eventually overthrew the ruling rulers in their society, and ultimately led to the rise of capitalist societies. So, during the eighteenth century, there was a huge emergence of social groups, called the middle class, who acquired their wealth through increasing sea trade and the manufacture of goods such as wool and silk fabrics that were exported or purchased by wealthy community members. In addition to vendors and manufacturers, third-party apprenticeships include jobs such as attorneys or administrative executives. They believed that no party in society should be given birthright. Instead, a person's social status should be based on his or her beauty. These ideas, which focus on a society based on freedom and equality and equal opportunity for all, have opened the way for the emergence of a middle class.
So, the correct answer is Option A.

Note: Middle-class people were educated and believed that no right should be given by birth; rather a person's position in society should be based on merit. Philosophers, such as John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau, envisioned a society based on freedom, equality, and opportunity for all.
