Answer

Hi,

Correct answer option is B

Unlike totalitarian government, authoritarian governments usually are run by a single individual.

Explanation

In an authoritarian government, a single ruler or a very small group of individuals have great powers in the political system. This system is normally headed by a dictator. In such governments, the focus is on order and control over the freedom of citizens because the people will have no voice in how the leader rules them. Common characteristics of authoritarian governments are; very little freedom to speech, no freedom of assembly without government approvals, and no freedom of movement of people. Example of regimes practicing this kind of political system are in Iran, China and Cuba.
