Aubrey · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter D

Regarding domestic politics, it fought the two main political forces of the kingdom: the nobility and the Protestants (Huguenots). Both formed a true state within France, negotiating with England and Germany and with other royal houses, and opposed the centralization of power advocated by the Cardinal. He faced a series of conspiracies aimed at his overthrow of power. The result was arrest, banishment or beheading for their enemies.
