Solution

The correct option is C Divine right to rule
Social systems that existed before the emergence of democracy recognised ‘privilege by birth’ or the ‘divine right to rule’. The job of ruling a territory was a privilege reserved for a few families. The power to rule gets transferred within the family. The privileges are enjoyed by a particular set of people.
