Correct Answer: she married


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

The sentence is about an event that occurred in the past. Thus, "have" is not the correct usage. To make the sentence grammatically accurate, it should be "where she married", as the sentence is in the simple past tense and the sentence structure allows the omission of the auxiliary verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "As a young girl, Mary lived in France, where she married the king of France, Francis II."
