Final answer:

Nazi Germany and present-day North Korea are examples of totalitarian regimes, characterized by an extreme level of control over public and private life, and the enforcement of absolute loyalty to the state. Option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nazi Germany and present-day North Korea are totalitarian regimes. A totalitarian dictatorship seeks to control all aspects of life, including occupation, religious beliefs, and family life. This is unlike other forms of dictatorships which may not have a comprehensive ideology or control over personal lives to the same extent.

Adolf Hitler's regime in Germany was characterized by fascist ideology with genocidal programs against Jews, Romani, and other groups. Hitler's National Socialism is a prime example of totalitarian ideology with its control permeating throughout society and the obliteration of individual identity in favor of the state.

Similarly, North Korea's regime controls almost all aspects of its citizens' lives, with a single party ruling and the use of propaganda and state terror to maintain absolute power over the people. The government dictates many aspects of personal lives and demands loyalty and public demonstrations of faith in the regime.

So Option 1 is correct answer.
