The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You forgot to attach the options for this question. However, trying to help you we can say the following.
Because Philip II wanted a standing army, he found it necessary to raise taxes.
King Philip II of Spain had inherited many debts due to wars and different issues in his vast empire. So aware of the importance of raising a strong army and a powerful navy, King Philip decided to raise taxes to have more money and invest it in the military.
King Philip II used the war to his advantage when building his empire but came up short during the Spanish Armada's sail against England.
However, Spain ended us succumbing to other European kingdoms such as Great Britain.
The King's overconfidence was a major reason for that. He believed that his Spanish fleet was undefeatable. Secondly, poor planning. King Philip II was a stubborn man and was not known to be the best strategist. This poor planning of the strategy for the invasion of England was a major factor. Thirdly, poor weather. As part of the poor planning, the weather conditions never favored the "invisible Spanish Armada."
