The response that represents an example of how Louis XIV’s absolute power was limited is:

his reliance on Jean-Baptiste Colbert to make reforms for him.

This shows that while Louis XIV was an absolute monarch, he recognized the need for expertise and delegated significant responsibilities to Colbert, which indicates a limitation on his personal control over the administration.
