Question

Louis XVI of the Bourbon dynasty was married to the Austrian princess ________.
A. Cleopatra
B. Sarraounia
C. Isabella
D. Marie Antoinette
E. None of these

Answer 1

Hint:Louis XVI was the last king of France before the evasion of monarchy due to the French Revolution. In May 1770, at the age of fifteen, Louis Auguste married fourteen year old Marie Antoinette who was his second cousin.

Complete answer:
Let us discuss each option individually in detail to figure out the correct answer.

Cleopatra - Cleopatra was married to Mark Antony, she was a ruler of Egypt. She was not married to Louis XVI. Therefore, this is not the correct option.
Sarraounia- As stated in the hint, Louis XVI was married to Marie Antoinette and not Sarraounia. Therefore, this is not the correct option.
Isabella- Isabella was married to Ferdinand II. She was the queen of Castile. She was not married to Louis XVI. Therefore, this is not the correct option.
Marie Antoinette- Marie Antoinette who was from Austria, was married to Louis XVI. Therefore, this is the correct option.
None of these- This option is invalid as we have found our answer in option D.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Note:Marie Antoinette was the daughter of holy Roman Emperor Francis I and his wife, the Empress Maria Theresa. This marriage was not welcomed by the French public. France's alliance with Austria had pulled the country into the disastrous Seven Year War. By the time that Louis-Auguste and Marie-Antoinette got married, the French people were not really fond of the Austrian alliance, and Marie-Antoinette was seen as an unwelcome foreigner by the public.
