Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

The process of “consultations with the nobles and clergy of the realm” in the making of Edward III’s decree best reflects which of the following?

A. The emergence of the concept that parliaments, rather than kings, had ultimate political authority in European states  B. The fragmented, decentralized nature of European feudal monarchies  C. The legacy of Roman imperial political traditions on medieval European states  D. European rulers' practice of making harsh legislation more palatable by claiming it was part of God's will

B. The fragmented, decentralized nature of European feudal monarchies

Explanation:

The process of "consultations with the nobles and clergymen of the kingdom" was established as a way of limiting the powers of the monarchy and decentralizing the political power of the king, thus the political organization of a country, should be established by consensus of several members of the clergy and nobility, together with the king, thus establishing a balanced and more beneficial decentralized power.

In other words, this process reflects the fragmented and decentralized nature of European feudal monarchies.
