What approach did James I adopt toward divine right kingship?

A) He believed that his power and authority derived solely from God, and this gave him the ability to govern outside of the "laws and customs of England."

B) He believed that governing by the "laws and customs of England" should be his utmost priority and that the notion of divine right kinship was essentially irrelevant.

C) He believed that the concept of divine right kingship was created by monarchs who wanted to abuse their power, and, therefore, created a law banning the future assertion of divine right kingship in England.

D) He believed that his power and authority derived solely from God, but acknowledged that he had sworn oaths to govern according to the "laws and customs of England."
