Correct Answer: looks


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The term looks is used here to describe how Henry VIII's gaze is directed towards the viewer. It suggests that he is making eye contact, and the word looks effectively conveys the idea that he is staring or gazing directly at the viewer.

Therefore, the correct answer is looks.
