Answer:

B. a large group of scholars.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1603 King James convened a conference with English Puritans at the Hampton Court Palace and even without being the subject of the meeting, one of the Puritans suggested a new translation of the Bible, as the King was not satisfied with any of the English language translations that existed.

While King James continued to look for a new translation, there were conspiracies against him and his kingdom, including the Gunpowder Plot, 1605 - inspiration for the popular movie “V for Vendetta.” It took seven years to finish the translation. It was first published on May 5, 1611.
