Answer: C. The police resemble the military in some but not all respects.

Step-by-step explanation:

Something is described as quasi when it resembles another thing in some ways. The Police as a law enforcement agency is quasi - military in style because it has most of the features of the military organization.

For example, just as the military men wear uniforms, carry guns, receive commands from a head officer, the Police is also designed in such a way.

So, they have most of the features of the military but unlike the military, their main goal is not to fight wars but to enforce the Law in the society.
