I need help with this question!!!

Which of the following statements from Common Sense best reveals why Paine thinks the British continue to support their political system?

A HOW CAME THE KING BY A POWER WHICH THE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO TRUST, AND ALWAYS OBLIGED TO CHECK?

B Such a power could not be the gift of a wise people, neither can any power, WHICH NEEDS CHECKING, be from God...

C ...wherefore, though we have been wise enough to shut and lock a door against absolute Monarchy, we at the same time have been foolish enough to put the Crown in possession of the key.

D The prejudice of Englishmen, in favor of their own government, by King, Lords and Commons, arises as much or more from national pride than reason.
