Solution

The correct option is A King Charles I
Charles I succeeded his father James I in 1625 as King of England and Scotland. During Charles’ reign, his actions frustrated his Parliament and resulted in the wars of the English Civil War, eventually leading to his execution in 1649.
Charles married the Catholic Henrietta Maria in the first year of his reign. This offended many English Protestants.
He dissolved Parliament when faced with opposition, effectively ruling alone on a number of occasions. He would only reassemble Parliament to raise funds when he ran out of money.
He lost popular support over public welfare issues such as the imposition of drainage schemes in The Fens. This affected thousands of people.
Hence, Option A is correct.
