Explanation
Answer: C - After being widowed by Francis, Mary met with her first cousin, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, in February 1561. Because of the pressures of re-marrying and the push from Darnley’s parents, the two were wed. While Mary married Darnley out of her passion and love for him, their marriage was an unhappy one. Darnley soon became arrogant and demanded to co-rule Scotland with her. In the end, he was found dead in the garden of his home.
