A. as a direct result of the irrepressible desire the French nobility had to --too wordy
B. because the French nobility had an irrepressible desire to ---concise and correct
C. insofar as the French nobility desired to --- insofar here is wrong
D. because the French nobility would have an irrepressible desired to --- would have is incorrect
E. by the French nobility's desire to irrepressibly----it is irrepressibly desire, not desire to irrepressibly charge.

IMO B is correct!
