Answer: c. Placed Mary and William, both Protestants, on the throne.

Explanation:

After the Glorious Revolution (1688-89), James II was removed and replaced by the shared monarchy of his protestant heiress, Mary II, and her husband, William of Orange, a prince, and stadholder from the Netherlands.

Since they were both protestants, this succession was perceived as positive by the Whig and those rejecting a Catholic succession.
