Explanation:

Late Ming China faced fiscal crises, leading to heavy tax burdens on farmers, alongside natural disasters and official corruption. This extreme tax pressure was a core trigger for widespread farmer revolts against Ming rulers. The other options are historically inaccurate: Ming rulers did not restrict crop sales to Europe as a cause of revolt, farmer eligibility for government jobs was not a key grievance, and land was not systematically given to Europeans at this time.

Answer:

B. the farmers believed their taxes were too high.
