Solution

The correct option is A Monarchy

Monarchy is the form of government in which king exercises supreme power. He is the head of the country and rules it. The seat of the ruler is hereditary. It can be of two types:

  • Partial monarchy: in such type powers of the monarch are very limited. An example is the queen of England
  • Absolute monarchy: monarch exercises supreme power in this case. An example is the king of Saudi Arabia.
