The correct response that exemplifies how Louis XIV's absolute power was limited is:
his reliance on Jean-Baptiste Colbert to make reforms for him.
This indicates that Louis XIV delegated some of his authority and decision-making to Colbert, which implies a limitation on his absolute power. In a true absolutist system, the monarch would not rely significantly on others for governance or reforms.
