Explanation:

To determine the form of government represented by Egyptian pharaohs (who were both political and religious leaders), we analyze each option:

• Anarchy: Absence of government, not applicable.
• Democracy: Rule by the people, not matching pharaohs’ role.
• Theocracy: Government led by religious figures (pharaohs were divine/religious leaders and political rulers), which fits.
• Oligarchy: Rule by a small group, not matching.

Answer:

C. theocracy
