Answer:

D. Home rule and constitutional monarchy

Explanation:

Taking into account the statements provided, we can affirm that statement C is correct, since it is the one that establishes the type of government that results from the bill of right. In 1689, and after the escape of King James II to France, the new Parliament drafted a Bill of Rights that recalls the respective obligations and duties of the King and Parliament. This document had to be sworn by Guillermo de Orange and María Estuardo, as a condition to occupy the throne of England.
