Answer:

The answer is: letter A, Established prisons to hold criminals and reduced crime.

Explanation:

Thomas Hobbes was an<em> English philosopher</em> who supported "absolute monarchy" as the best form of government for the people. According to him, it is a human instinct to desire more power. Without law, people will kill others in order to achieve their own good. Thus, he stated that life would be "nasty, brutish and short" without a state government. Establishing prisons to hold criminals and reduce crime will allow people to uphold the contract of submitting themselves to the will of the sovereign. People's fear will be the means to maintain order and peace in a civil society.

So for him, in order to guarantee "peace,"<u><em> monarchy</em></u> is the best form of government. It is important that <em>all members in the nation submit themselves absolutely to the sovereign in order to maintain peace. </em>
