Answer:
Option c - A Theocracy
Explanation:
A theocracy is a system of governance in which the supreme deity (or collection of deities) serves as the highest authority. The supreme deity may rule directly as a god in human form or indirectly through earthly servants (usually the clergy) who act as the deity's representatives. A theocracy's rules are based on religious principles, and its rulers prioritize serving their god over the needs of the populace. Because of their tight laws and severe penalties for breaking them, theocracies are sometimes repressive in nature.
Theocracies have ruled over several nations and ethnic groups throughout history, including many of the first civilizations. For instance, the pharaoh was thought to be the child of the sun god, Ra, in the theocratic society of ancient Egypt. As the son of the sun goddess, the emperor was worshipped in Japan. China, Tibet, and Israel were all theocracies at one point. There are now very few theocracies left in the world. Sudan, an Islamic theocracy that was replaced in 2019 by a (struggling) democracy, is the most recent theocracy to change its system of government.
