○ it removes an absolute monarch from the seat of
power.

Explanation:

The passage from the English Bill of Rights 1689 focuses on limiting the monarch's power and emphasizing Parliament's authority (legislative branch). The first option states it promotes the legislative branch's authority, which matches—actions like suspending laws, levying money, or raising armies need Parliament's consent, boosting Parliament's (legislative) role. The other options: placing Protestant monarchs (not about the passage's content), protecting civil liberties (the passage is more about governmental structure/legislative authority), and removing an absolute monarch (the Glorious Revolution already removed James II, and the Bill focuses on legislative power, not just removal). So the correct option is the one about promoting the legislative branch's authority.

Answer:

A. It promotes the authority of the legislative branch of government.
