The correct answer is: The church was now in charge of all matters of law that affected it.

When King William I separated the courts, it allowed the church to handle its own legal matters independently of the monarchy. This separation meant that church courts had jurisdiction over ecclesiastical matters, which reinforced the church's authority and independence from the king's influence in religious and moral issues.
