Explanation:

Question about James I of England:

James I of England was a strong proponent of the divine right of kings, which is the idea that a monarch's authority comes directly from God, not from the people or other earthly authorities. He did not believe in sharing power with Parliament (option c is incorrect). While he was Protestant, his strong belief was more about the divine right than just Protestantism (option a is not the best fit), and he was not a supporter of the Puritan religion (option d is incorrect).

William and Mary were offered the throne during the Glorious Revolution to establish a limited monarchy where Parliament had defined powers, reducing the absolute power of the monarchy. Option a is wrong as Parliament's role was strengthened. Option b is not the main reason (though relations with Holland were a side effect). Option c is irrelevant.

The English Bill of Rights was meant to enhance Parliament's power, not abolish it (so option a is the exception). It recognized Parliament's law - making right (option b is something it did), prevented monarchs from raising armies without Parliament's consent (option c is something it did), and recognized jury trial rights (option d is something it did).

Answer:

b. the divine right of kings
