Solution

The correct option is A Act of Supremacy
The First Act of Supremacy 1534 granted King Henry VIII of England and subsequent monarchs Royal Supremacy, such that he was declared the Supreme Head of the Church of England. Royal Supremacy is specifically used to describe the legal sovereignty of the civil laws over the laws of the Church in England. Hence, Option A is correct.
