Question 6 (Autocracy Question)

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Autocracy involves a single ruler (monarch/dictator) with the idea that one ruler is more efficient than a group. This matches autocracy's concept.
• Option b: This describes direct democracy, not autocracy.
• Option c: Autocracy isn't limited to a dictator and their party (e.g., absolute monarchies don't have parties), so this is incorrect.
• Option d: A monarch with ceremonial role is a constitutional monarchy, not autocracy.

We recall Earth's spheres:

• Hydrosphere: Water bodies.
• Lithosphere: Earth's crust and upper mantle (land part).
• Biosphere: All living organisms.
• Atmosphere: Gaseous layer around Earth.

So the land (crust) is lithosphere.

Answer:

a. A single ruler, whether a monarch or dictator, is more efficient at running a country than a group of people.
