Your answer is partly correct. Lady Margaret Beaufort's involvement in English royal politics cannot be solely attributed to her marriage to Henry VI. While she was indeed married to Henry VI, her influence in English royal politics stemmed from multiple factors.
Firstly, Lady Margaret Beaufort's son, Henry Tudor, played a significant role in shaping her involvement in politics. After the death of her first husband, Lady Margaret remarried to Thomas Stanley, who was a powerful nobleman. Her son, Henry Tudor, had a claim to the English throne through his maternal descent from John of Gaunt, the son of Edward III. This claim paved the way for Lady Margaret's active involvement in English royal politics.
Secondly, Lady Margaret's own lineage played a role in connecting her to the English royal family. Her father, John Beaufort, was the son of John of Gaunt and his mistress Katherine Swynford. Although initially considered illegitimate, the Beaufort family's legitimacy was eventually recognized, making Lady Margaret a direct descendant of Edward III. This familial connection further enhanced her influence.
Lastly, with her second marriage to Thomas Stanley, Lady Margaret gained considerable wealth and resources. Her position as the wife of a prominent nobleman provided her with both financial and social support, enabling her to exert influence in the political arena.
So, while Lady Margaret Beaufort's marriage to Henry VI played a part in her involvement in English royal politics, it is her son's claim to the throne, her familial connections, and her marriage to Thomas Stanley that collectively shaped her role in shaping English royal politics. Therefore, the correct answer to your question is a combination of A (she was married to Henry VI), B (her son was the supporter heir to the English throne), C (her father was the half-brother of Henry VI), and D (she was married to Henry Tudor, who became Henry VII).
