Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The system of form of government where people are ruled by a single and all powerful ruler is referred to as autocracy. It is quite similar to absolute monarchy or dictatorship. In such political system, there is no concept of election as usually the family member succeeds to the power.

The autocrat dictates its decision on the subjects and there is no assurance that the will or wishes of the subject will be respected and taken into consideration while making any decision.

Answer: Absolute power corrupts absolutely. One will have no individual rights when all rights are at the whim of a single, omnipotent ruler. Due process will be whatever the ruler says it is or isn't, and it may change or disappear without the people having a say.
