The correct answer is option 4: Tories. The British Conservative Party was earlier known as the Tories. The term "Tory" originated in the 17th century and was used to describe those who supported the monarchy and were against the Whigs (option 1). The Whigs, on the other hand, were supporters of constitutional monarchy and favored religious tolerance. The Levellers (option 2) were a political movement during the English Civil War that advocated for greater democracy and social equality. The Fabians (option 3) were a socialist group founded in the late 19th century, but they were not directly associated with the Conservative Party. So, the correct answer is option 4, the Tories.
