D. Jim and Huck are basing their opinion of all royalty on fake kings.

Explanation:

Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn tells the story of an orphaned boy on a lookout for adventure, away from the confines of society. And on his search for adventure, the protagonist Huck encounters a number of odd characters throughout his trip along with Jim.

The given passage or exchange between Huck and Jim is from chapter 23 where their companions the duke and the king had just duped a whole town off their money. While the two were sleeping, Huck and Jim discussed how some people did not seem to be what they appear to be. Appearances are just a facade that people show in order to hide their true intentions.

The satirical manner of the conversation reveals how they are basing their opinion of royalty to be, thus leading to their conclusion that "all kings is mostly rapscallions" who are "reglar rapscallions" . Due to the king's and duke's acts, Huck and Jim came to their own thoughts about why kings fail in history and people hate royalty. Considering how their companions had acted, Huck declares that he can understand the common man's thinking of royal man, and he began to provide examples of kings such as Henry VIII, Charles II who all turned out to be scoundrels in the end.
