Russia thrived economically under absolute monarchs, while England relied on Parliament to rebuild after the English Civil War.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

England developed under constitutional monarchy but Russia decided to develop under absolute monarchy only. The reason for this was that under absolute monarchy, Russia developed on economic grounds so it did not want to change from absolute to constitutional monarchy.

England wanted the parliament to re build the infrastructure that was destroyed during the civil war. So it wanted to change to constitutional monarchy so that the parliament take responsibility of re building the infrastructure.
