He was a king who ruled his subjects with a high hand.
Answer: A
With a high hand means oppressively.
To act with a high hand (or in a high-handed way) is to use power arrogantly and without regard for others' rights or feelings. A king who ruled his subjects with a high hand was harsh and overbearing.
Kindly and sympathetically are the opposite of the idiom's meaning. Conveniently describes what suits someone's comfort or purpose and says nothing about harshness, so it misses the sense of arrogant, oppressive rule.
