The correct answer is: The monarch owed his power to his loyal nobles.
Brief explanation: French kings (especially as the monarchy consolidated) rested on a network of noble loyalties and increasingly centralized royal authority within a single hereditary state. By contrast the Holy Roman emperor was elected and had far less direct control—he had to negotiate continually with powerful territorial princes and with the papacy.
