Answer:

William and Mary.

Explanation:

After the death of Charles I, there was a debate of who will ascend to the throne as he had no heir, so his brother James took over the throne. James was a Catholic supporter and tried to impose Catholic worshipping. This angered the majority of Protestants in England who sought to Protestant Queen Mary and her husband William of Orange.

Queen Mary was the daughter of James II who married William III of Orange in 1677. Queen Mary was Protestant supporter.

In 1688, King James II was deposed from the throne and Queen Mary and King William taking the throne of England.

This period of England between 1688-89 is known as the Glorious Revolution. This period introduced the Bill of Rights in England enacted by Queen Mary and King Williams.

So, the correct answer is William and Mary reigned during the Glorious Revolution.
