The correct answer is D. Oligarchy.
An oligarchy is a form of government where power rests with a small group of people, often distinguished by wealth, family ties, corporate interests, or military control. This contrasts with other forms of governance like monarchy (rule by a single king or queen) and parliamentary democracy (rule by elected representatives).
