Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A theocracy is a government system where the ultimate authority is based on religious beliefs and the rule is administered by religious leaders who are believed to be the representatives of the divine or the god. Theocracy is not based on the principle of merit, the power is not inherited through family members, and it isn't related to the concept of monogamy, which is a social practice related to marriage.
