Answer:

B. Autocracy

Step-by-step explanation:

The word autocracy comes from the Greek word autocrats. It has two parts, "auto" and "krates." The first one, auto, means self, and the second part, krates, means power or ruling. When we put the two words together, they mean rule by oneself or that someone has all the power above others.
