Answer:An extreme situation where the basic means of livelihood are endangered is known as subsistence crisis.

Two factors responsible for this in France are as following:-

First.The population of France rose from about 23 million in 1715 to 28 million in 1789. This led to a rapid increase in the demand for food grain.

Second.Production of grains could not keep pace with the demand. so the price of bread which was a staple diet of the majority rose rapidly.
