Final answer:
Fedor Ivanovich (Fedor I), son of Ivan the Terrible, was known as 'the Bellringer'. This title reflects the historical connection between the tsar and their people in Russia. The answer is option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The tsar known as 'the Bellringer' is Fedor Ivanovich, son of Ivan the Terrible. Despite being less famous than his father or Peter the Great, Fedor's reign was significant in its own right. Tsar Fedor Ivanovich has been mentioned in historical contexts, such as in discussions of his image in the décor of early modern guns and his place in the lineage of Russian rulers.
While the title 'Father Tsar' (Batiushka Tsar) was popularly associated with Peter the Great, it was used throughout the 17th century, including for Tsars like Fedor. The epithets such as 'Father of the Fatherland' and the concept of the benevolent tsar-deliverer have played pivotal roles in the myths surrounding the autocracy in Russia. These terms reflect the deep connection between the tsar and the people, as well as the expected role of the tsar as a protector and provider, a status that was catastrophically undermined during the incident of Bloody Sunday in 1905 under Tsar Nicholas II.
