Solution

The correct option is A Separation of powers
Separation of powers refers to the division of responsibilities into distinct branches of government to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another. The division of power into separate branches of government is central to the republican ideal of the separation of powers. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not apply to the division of powers, hence, incorrect.
