Solution
The correct option is A archbishop
In 1164 he introduced the Constitutions of Clarendon, a code of 16 rules designed to increase the king's influence over the bishops and the Church courts. Henry demanded that, if the Church courts found a cleric guilty, they had to hand him over to the king's court to be punished properly. He felt the appointment of Becket as Archbishop (effectively in charge of religion in England) assured him of his aim. There could only be one lord on Earth in England. Hence, Option A is correct. Among the rest of the titles, these are always elected from among the members of the monastery, hence, incorrect.
