D) Constitutional Monarchy.

Answer 1

The answer is letter B, Presidential Democracy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nigeria is a country that is located in West Africa. It used to be under a military rule. The country only became official democratic in 1999 when Olusegun Obasanjo became the President of the country. When Muhammadu Buhari became the President of Nigeria, the Day of Democracy was moved to June 12, instead of May 29.

Presidential Democracy is a state in which a country's leader is the President. The President is the head of the state and the government. He has many roles such as implementing the policy, appointing of officials, etc. He is also the leader of the Executive branch of the government, thus he oversees or supervises it. He is also involved in planning and preparing the executive budget. This should be given to the Congress, 18 months before the fiscal year starts.
