Solution

The correct option is C Aristocracy
'Aristocracy' refers to the highest class in certain societies. It typically comprises of people of noble birth holding hereditary titles and offices. Given this meaning, this word is most appropriate for the given description. Hence, option A is correct.

'Democracy' is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. 'Autocracy' is a system of government by one person with absolute power. 'Bureaucracy' is a system of government in which most of the important decisions are taken by state officials rather than by elected representatives. None of these words describe a government run by nobles. Hence, options B, C and D are incorrect.
