Explanation:

The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, placed limits on the power of the English king. It was a key step in curbing absolutism and laying the ground - work for the rule of law and representative government. It didn't make Parliament more powerful than the King immediately, didn't grant all adults the right to vote, and didn't guarantee liberty and democracy to all citizens.

Answer:

D. The Magna Carta limited the King's power and prevented absolutism from taking hold in England.
