Explanation:

First Question (Characteristic of totalitarian government)

Totalitarian governments have extensive control over citizens' lives (economy, social, cultural, etc.). Separation of powers, free elections, and constitutional protections are features of limited governments, not totalitarian ones. So "Control over most aspects of citizens’ lives" is correct.

Limited governments have restrictions on their power (e.g., through constitutions, separation of powers) to protect individual rights. Unlimited, totalitarian, and authoritarian governments have concentrated power and often restrict rights. So limited government is correct.

Answer:

C. Control over most aspects of citizens’ lives
