Solution

The correct option is B Horizontal power-Sharing
Power is shared among different organs of government, such as the legislature, executive and judiciary. This is known as the horizontal distribution of power because it allows different organs of government placed at the same level to exercise different powers. Such separation ensures that none of the organs can exercise unlimited power. Each organ checks the others.
