Answer:

B. Totalitarianism

Read Explanation:

  • Totalitarianism is a form of government that attempts to assert total control over the lives of its citizens.

  • It is characterized by strong central rule that attempts to control and direct all aspects of individual life through coercion and repression.

  • It does not permit individual freedom.

  • Traditional social institutions and organizations are discouraged and suppressed, making people more willing to be merged into a single unified movement.

  • Totalitarian states typically pursue a special goal to the exclusion of all others, with all resources directed toward its attainment, regardless of the cost.

  • A good example for totalitarian government is Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler
