Answer:

A. It sought to justify the divine right of kings

Step-by-step explanation:

The Age of Enlightenment or the Enlightenment period was a period of the intellectual and the philosophical movement which dominated in Europe in the world of ideas during 17th and the 18th centuries.

The Enlightenment philosophers of that time greatly influenced the founders of the American government as they provided a government with consent, the idea of the natural rights of its people,etc.

The Protestant theory of the social contract conflicted with divide rights of the kings which was a catholic idea.

Thus option (A) is correct.
