The correct answer should be A king forces farmers to send him most of their crops to be distributed among wealthy nobles

For John Locke this was unacceptable because he believed that this was just exploiting the people who worked in the interest of absolute monarchs. In his opinion, such behavior of a monarch should be sanctioned and he should be deposed since his power came from the people who supported him and not from a divine entity.
