Correct Answer: excessively


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The term excessively indicates that Henry VIII's clothing is heavily padded, beyond what might be considered normal or typical. This choice conveys the idea that the padding in his clothing is more than necessary, possibly for a specific purpose such as emphasising a certain appearance or conveying a particular image.

Therefore, the correct answer is excessively.
