Answer:
The correct response is Option D: King Phillip II.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Spanish Armada was commissioned by King Phillip II and it was used to invade England in 1588. King Phillip II wanted to avenge the death of Mary Queen of Scots. It was the largest fleet ever seen in Europe at that time with close to 150 ships. Philip II felt he had to avenge the death of the Catholic queen of Scotland against the Protestant Queen Elizabeth I. This inflamed in the religious tensions between the two countries. The Armada was not successful however as many ships were wrecked. Only about 65 returned.
