Explanation:

By the late 1600s (after events like the Glorious Revolution of 1688), Parliament had secured key powers over the monarchy, most critically control of royal finances to limit the king's independent authority. The other options do not reflect its core purpose at this time: distributing aid was not a parliamentary role, checking laws against Magna Carta was not its main function, and colonial immigration regulation was not a primary focus.

Answer:

B. They controlled the king's finances
