Answer:

A: A clue offered by an example.

Step-by-step explanation:

A clue offered by an example ( example context clue ) helps to understand the meaning of the word autocratic because the sentence presents specific examples that define this adjective. The words "handed out orders left and right" are clear and definite examples of a conduct of an autocratic leader, which is someone who demands that people completely obey them.
