• A. When the power of the king is considered a divine right.
• B. When the power of the king is granted by the parliament.
• C. When people have power in the nation.
• D. When the ministers have divine power.

Answer 1

The correct option is B When the power of the king is granted by the parliament.

According to parliamentary democracy in England, the ministers were answerable to the parliament and the King had limited powers. The power of the king no longer remained a divine right, and it was granted by the Parliament. This was called a constitutional monarchy.
