Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Authoritarian regimes are characterized by a willingness to be restrained by the power of social institutions (such as religion or culture) rather than political or legal institutions (such as the rule of law). Totalitarian regimes, on the other hand, seek to control all aspects of society through the use of political and legal institutions. Democratic regimes value the rule of law and political institutions, and monarchic regimes rely on the power of an individual ruler or royal family.
