Question

multiple choice question
chinese farmers began to revolt against ming rulers because

the farmers land was taken from them and given to europeans.

the farmers were not eligible to apply for jobs in the government.

the farmers believed their taxes were too high.

the rulers refused to sell crops to europe, restricting farm income.

Explanation:

Late Ming China faced fiscal strain from wars, corruption, and natural disasters. The government imposed heavy, unmanageable taxes on peasant farmers, who also suffered from crop failures and land concentration by elites. This economic oppression was a core driver of widespread peasant revolts that contributed to the Ming Dynasty's collapse. The other options are historically inaccurate: Ming rulers did not give farmland to Europeans, farmers were not barred from government jobs as a group, and the Ming did not restrict crop sales to Europe as a cause of farmer unrest.

Answer:

the farmers believed their taxes were too high.
