When louis xiv said, “i am the state,” he meant that he a)had absolute power. b)was no longer king. c)had decided to change his name. d)no longer believed in god.

The answer is A.  In 1661, after Mazarin's death, Louis XIV broke with the heritage and shock his court by telling that he would govern without a chief minister. He consider himself as the direct representative of God, blessed with a divine right to apply the absolute power of the monarchy.
