Queen of England
A
The Aristocracy
B
The Bourgeoisie
C
The Proletariat
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It’s true that the Queen is by far the wealthiest person in her family, but she’s not the richest aristocrat in the UK.

Detailed explanation-2: -“Queen consort” is the term used by the wife of a reigning monarch, and it usually denotes that the wife maintains the same social status as her husband. However, in the case of the British monarchy, the queen consort is not in the line of succession, and is only given the title through marriage.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reason for Elizabeth’s dukedom, though, comes down to land power, as Town & Country clarifies. In the United Kingdom, there’s land called the Duchy of Lancaster, which forms a central part of the reigning monarch’s income. The Duchy of Lancaster is held and controlled by (you guessed it) the Duke of Lancaster.
