Answer:

B the church would act as a major prop for english royalty

Step-by-step explanation:

The English Royalty were highly concerned with keeping control of the colonies, and one of the major ways they could have been able to do this would be through religion (the reason many colonists wished to leave England in the first place). With religious control, they could have a sort of indirect power over the colonies.
