what group was taxed by the king of england before the magna carta?
a) farmers
b) peasants
c) barons
d) members of parliament

Explanation:

Before the Magna Carta, the king of England (King John) heavily taxed the barons (noble landowners) to fund wars and his own expenses. This led to the barons' rebellion and the creation of the Magna Carta. Farmers and peasants were not the primary group taxed in this context, and Parliament as a formal body with members being taxed in this way did not exist yet.

Answer:

C) Barons
