Answer 1

I would say C.

King John, at whom it was initially aimed at, was particularly abusive of his powers as king such as throwing his enemies into prison even if they didn't break any laws. He also levied heavy taxes without anyone's approval which further fueled hatred against him.

It's C:
The Magna Carta was known as the forerunner to Habeas Corpus, or no jailing without proper cause and trial.
