The correct answer is D) the king created a centralized government.
The king of France was more powerful than the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire because the king created a centralized government.
The king of France had the absolute control of his reign. With the creation of a centralized government, he controlled every aspect and movement of his kingdom. His power was absolute. The case of the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was a little bit different. Of course, he had his place and was a very respected figure, but he had not all the control ad the king of France. The Emperor had moral authority in the empire but was not the authoritative and powerful figure that exerted total control as was the case of the king of France.
