Answer:

The correct answer is A. James I and Charles I clashed with Parliament.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option D is wrong because James I and Charles I did actually believe in the divine right of kings and that only God could criticize their actions or direct their reign.

Although the Tudors believed in divine right, the masked this belief as they thought that good relationship with the Parliament were a valuable thing. For example, they would seek approval of the Parliament to levy new taxes.

On the other hand, James I and Charles I had a tormentuous relationship with the Parliament. JamesI said that the very existence of Parliament was a sign of sedition in subjects who could dispute what a king may do with his divine power. Charles I went even further dissolving Parliament in 1629 and ruling without it for eleven years.
