The Tory Party in Britain was made up primarily of wealthy landowners and

supported

C.) Broader powers for the king

Step-by-step explanation:

In general the trend was in Europe that the aristocracy and the landowners favored the kingly rule as it was better for them to maintain that strict status quo while the others were not.

The Tory party was a little conservative in this regard and had a primary base in these wealthy landowners who wanted the king to have more powers and did not like the growing influence of the merchants.

The merchants were socially mobile and wanted more power for the parliament for tier profits.
