Answer 1

Correct answer is intendant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intendant is the correct answer as those were the court officials between 1640 and 1789 who had the role to centralize the state and strengthen the role of monarchs.

On the other side all other answers are wrong as they are not connected with the role that was described in the question.
