He is best known for his centralization of power and efforts to strengthen the monarchy. He prioritized the king's authority and worked to suppress opposition to royal power, including from both the Huguenots (French Protestants) and the nobility.

Now, let's compare these options to what we know about Cardinal Richelieu.
Cardinal Richelieu was a prominent figure in French history who served as the chief minister to King Louis XIII during the 17th century. He is known for his centralization of power and efforts to strengthen the monarchy.
Let's break down each option:
- "Goal was a 'chicken in every pot'" is not a characteristic of Cardinal Richelieu. This phrase is often associated with a different historical figure, King Henry IV of France, who aimed for economic prosperity and improved living conditions for his subjects.
- "Ruled France as the chief advisor to the king" accurately describes Richelieu's role as the chief minister. He held significant influence and played a key role in shaping French policies and politics during his tenure.
- "Was a Huguenot who converted to Catholicism" is not accurate. Cardinal Richelieu was born and raised a Catholic, and Huguenots were a Protestant minority in France. Richelieu was known for his strong opposition to Protestantism and took measures to suppress Huguenot power.
Based on this analysis, the correct choice to describe Cardinal Richelieu is "Ruled France as the chief advisor to the king."
