D Correct answer
Explanation

The French Revolution dismantled the feudal privileges of the nobility and clergy, allowing the wealthy middle class, or bourgeoisie, to rise to the top of the social hierarchy. This group gained significant political influence and economic power as a result of the reforms. Artisans and lower-class workers, while active in the revolution, did not achieve the same dominant social status.
