The correct answer is D) From monarchy to dictatorship.

Step-by-step explanation:

Right after the World war I, Britain took control of Iraq which was ruled by the Ottoman empire. When this empire fell down, Britain was in charge of ruling Iraq. In 1932, Britain gave independence to Iraq. And the Monarch king Faisal started to rule. Then, it became a dictatorship until 1958 where revolution led to Iraq to be a republic.
