Answer

The answer is Parliament restored the monarchy.

Explanation
Option 1: Parliament went to war with Scotland.

This option is incorrect. After Oliver Cromwell's death in 1658, there was no immediate war with Scotland initiated by Parliament. The focus was more on internal political stability and the future governance of England.

Option 2: Parliament restored the monarchy.

This option is correct. After Oliver Cromwell's death, his son Richard Cromwell briefly succeeded him as Lord Protector. However, Richard lacked the political support and military backing his father had. In 1660, the monarchy was restored when Charles II was invited back to England to take the throne, marking the end of the Commonwealth and the beginning of the Restoration period.

Option 3: Parliament banned the monarchy forever.

This option is incorrect. Although the monarchy was abolished during the Commonwealth period under Oliver Cromwell, it was not banned forever. The Restoration in 1660 saw the return of the monarchy with Charles II.

Option 4: Parliament imposed the Protectorate.

This option is incorrect. The Protectorate was already in place under Oliver Cromwell and briefly under his son Richard. After Richard's resignation, the Protectorate effectively ended, leading to the restoration of the monarchy.
