Answer 1

Answer:

C. The country having hegemonic position will possess unchallenged military power.  

This statement about hegemony is incorrect.

Explanation:

The country having hegemonic position will possess unchallenged military power.

Governments and governments continuously try to seize and maintain power in international politics. U.S.A. dominated world affairs after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Therefore nothing is set, it shifts and thus the hegemonic status is not defined by the transition in the power structure.

This is a world economy governed by a single superpower or hyper power.
