Who was the king's primary heir since Catherine bore no children?

  • James II

  • William III

  • George I

  • Charles III

Answer

James II was designated as the successor to the throne due to the absence of offspring from King Charles II's marriage to Catherine of Braganza. As Catherine remained childless throughout their union, the monarch's brother, James, became the heir presumptive, ensuring the continuation of the royal lineage and succession.
