4. It can be inferred from the passage that Maravall regarded monarchs of the baroque era as
(A) increasingly indifferent to unfavorable public opinion - No. Opposite. Monarchs were, in fact, concerned about public opinion.
(B) concerned with the political threat posed by the aristocracy - No. Opposite. While the monarchy suppressed the bad actors, they allied more tightly with the aristocracy to maintain the rule. One example could be giving some aristocrat status in the royal palace, thus putting his skin in the game and making him more responsible to himself and the monarch.
(C) captivated by the cultural devices designed to control their subjects - This is the author's view, not Marvell's. Wrong.
(D) somewhat successful in countering the disruptive legacy of the Renaissance - Yes. They were successful.
(E) preoccupied with the goal of attaining cultural preeminence for their respective countries - Out of scope.
