Final answer:
The correct answer is option c) Distant and cold; Dysfunctional.
Step-by-step explanation:
Queen Eleanor and Matilda Empress (Henry's mother) are portrayed as distant and cold, making option c) Distant and cold; Dysfunctional the best adjective to describe his family life. Queen Eleanor was known for her political power and influence, but she was also known for her strained relationship with her children, including Henry.
