The correct answer is:

C. A powerful government official is arrested for breaking the law.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of law is a principle that states that every person, including government officials, entities and institutions are required to obey the laws that are publicly promulgated, independently adjudicated, consistent with human rights and equally enforced. This principle places the law above all figures and requires that everyone no matter their profession must obey and fulfill the laws established, this is why a powerful government official being arrested for breaking the law is the correct answer.
