The answer is: Conflicts between the monarchy and Parliament over their relative power

This option is not entirely accurate because the process was not without opposition. The development of constitutional monarchy in England involved significant conflict and negotiation between the monarchy and Parliament.

This option best describes the causes of the development of constitutional monarchy in England. The English Civil War, the execution of Charles I, and the Glorious Revolution were key events that highlighted the struggle for power between the monarchy and Parliament. These conflicts ultimately led to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, where the powers of the monarch were limited and balanced by those of Parliament.

This option is incorrect because the development of constitutional monarchy was a move away from the belief in an all-powerful monarch. The shift was towards limiting the monarch's power and increasing the role of Parliament.

This option is inaccurate because Charles I was not committed to limiting the power of the monarchy. In fact, his actions, such as attempting to rule without Parliament and imposing taxes unilaterally, contributed to the conflicts that led to the English Civil War and his eventual execution.
