Final answer:
The government under Victoriano Huerta in early 20th century Mexico was a Military Dictatorship. Option C is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The government under Victoriano Huerta's presidency in early 20th century Mexico is best characterized as a Military Dictatorship. Huerta came to power through a coup, overthrowing and assassinating President Francisco Madero in 1913.
He then attempted to rule in a dictatorial fashion, and his regime was marked by the opposition from various factions within Mexico, leading to increased social upheaval and guerilla warfare. Notably, he faced opposition from revolutionary leaders like Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, and the U.S. president at the time, Woodrow Wilson, eventually supported Carranza's forces against Huerta.
The rapid shift in power and the violent conflict of the time reflect a far cry from any form of representative democracy or totalitarian communism. Moreover, Huerta's rule lacked the typical attributes of a traditional authority or a democratic system, further solidifying its characterization as a Military Dictatorship.
Huerta seized power by overthrowing and killing the sitting president, leading to a regime opposed by revolutionary forces and characterized by a lack of democratic process.
