Answer:
D) James I believed that he had a divine right to exercise absolute [power]
Explanation:
In the passage from the speech of James I (called On the Divine Right of Kings), James I talks about the relation of the title of god that the Bible gives to the kings, and about the fact that king is the father of his people. This gives us the conclusion that he believes in the king's absolute and divine power over the people.
As he was the king at the time of the speech, that meant he tried to explain how he himself has that power.
This is confirmed by the full context of the speech in which he explains how kings are similar to gods, and how no one shall mess with his power over the government and ancient rights. He believed he was outside of eathly authorities and justly compared with divine power.
