In Elizabethan poetry and court ceremonies, a devoted following centered on Elizabeth developed, shaping the interactions between her and her court. What was this devotion called?

Explanation

The correct answer is D) admiration. During Elizabeth's reign, an intense admiration or 'cult of love' was expressed in poetry and court events, influencing how she related to her courtiers. The other options—disgrace, baseless criticism, and hatred—do not reflect the positive devotion that characterized her relationship with the court.
