Who were the winners in the 17th-century English Civil War?

The test is asking you to identify who emerged victorious from the main conflict between Parliament and the King. The group backing Parliament, known as the Roundheads, ultimately prevailed. They faced the King’s supporters, the Cavaliers or Royalists, and after key campaigns and political changes, the Roundheads won the war, leading to the execution of Charles I and the establishment of a Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell. The other options point to the opposing side or to Parliament as an institution, not the winning faction in the conflict.
