Solution

The correct option is D authority

Option D is the right answer as the blank requires a noun and ‘authority’ is a noun. Option A is incorrect as ‘authorised’ is a verb. Options B and C are incorrect as they are adjectives. Although 'authoritarian' may be used as a noun, we do not use the phrase 'figure of authoritarian'.
