Answer:
The correct answer is <u>B) Great Britain</u>
Explanation:
At one time, Great Britain had the largest Empire in world history. It was famously said that the <u>'Sun never sets on the British Empire'</u>
This was in reference to the size of the Empire which was so large that at any given moment the sun always shined on at least one it's territories.
As an example, modern countries of Canada, Australia, the United States, India and large parts of Africa were all part of the British Empire.

Ok, so obviously, you can tell that A. is not even an answer since his name is Prince Henry which is an English name and the Islamic empire never really reached what is now present-day U.K...B. and D. are wrong because Catholicism was in Spain and the Pope was also in Spain. So your only correct answer is C.
Since you haven't given the choices in your assigned question, the best I can do here is offer you a list of some of the key events that DID occur during the years of William Howard Taft's presidency.
Robert Peary led an expedition that was the first to reach the North Pole (in April, 1909).
Nellie Taft (the president's wife) suffered a stroke in May, 1909. She recovered but it took many months.
In July, 1909, Congress passed the proposal for the 16th Amendment and submitted it to state legislatures for ratification. The amendment allowed Congress to collect income taxes. Ratification was complete by 1913, while Taft was still in office.
In May, 1911, the Supreme Court ordered the dissolution of the Standard Oil Company for violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. The company was required to split into smaller corporations. The American Tobacco Company was similarly ordered to dissolve for antitrust violations later in that same month.
In January, 1912, New Mexico became the 47th state of the United States, and in February, 1912, Arizona became the 48th state.
The famous sinking of the Titanic occurred in April, 1912.
There were other events that could be mentioned, but that gives you some ideas of the history of the time.
