Solution

The correct option is A Charles I
Charles I succeeded James I. He dissolved the parliament and ruled for 11 years between 1629 and 1640 without any parliament. But in 1640 CE, he was forced to summon the Parliament to get special grants in order to fight some wars. This Parliament continued to exist from 1640 to 1660 CE and hence came to be known as the Long Parliament.
