D. state

Answer 1

D. state

Step-by-step explanation:

A State is a political organization constituted by stable bureaucratic institutions, through which it exercises the monopoly of the use of force (sovereignty) applied to a population within established territorial limits.

Many human societies have been governed by states for millennia, however, most people in prehistory lived in stateless societies. The first states arose some 5500 years ago along with the rapid growth of cities, the invention of writing and the codification of new forms of religion. Over time, a variety of different forms developed, employing a variety of justifications for their existence (such as divine right, social contract theory, etc.). Today, however, the modern nation-state is the predominant form of state to which people are subject.
