This King was murdered by his nephew in March of 1975.

• A. King Hussein of Jordan
• B. King Khalid of Saudi Arabia
• C. King Abdulaziz
• D. King Faisal of Saudi Arabia

Answer: (D)

This asks you to identify a monarch who was murdered by a family member in a specific year. King Faisal of Saudi Arabia fits exactly: on March 25, 1975, he was shot by his nephew, Prince Faisal bin Musaid, in Riyadh and died from his wounds shortly afterward. This assassination by a relative sets him apart from the other names listed, who died of natural causes or in different circumstances—King Hussein of Jordan lived until 1999, King Khalid of Saudi Arabia died of a heart attack in 1982, and King Abdulaziz died in 1953 from illness.
