Middle-class affranchis saw the greatest increase in opportunity to participate in Haitian  politics and society following the revolution.

Option C

Explanation:

Haitian Revolution is an antislavery movement in Saint-Domingue against the French Rule. At the time, the people were divided into three major groups white people, mulattoes (mixed-race slaves who got freedom) and African born slaves (blacks).

In 1789 August, France declared the Declaration of the Rights of Man stating all men are free and equal. After the France-British war and Napoleon's Invasion of Haiti, it received its independence in 1804. The French colonists and their loyalists were considered to be enemies and traitors they were killed by a massacre.

The mulattoes became the privileged people since they were the educated class in the Political system of France. They were mostly brought up under the French culture, so they generally practiced Catholicism and they spoke French.
