Answer:

C. Sovereign

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Merriam dictionary sovereign

means one that exercises supreme authority within a limited sphere.

In a monarchy, supreme power resides in the "sovereign", or king. In modern democracies, sovereign power rests with the people and is exercised through representative bodies such as Congress or Parliament.
