What is a unitary system of government characterized by?

Decentralization of powers
Centralization of all government powers into one central authority
Division of powers between various branches
Absolute power in the hands of a monarch

The correct answer is: Centralization of all government powers into one central authority

A unitary system of government is one in which all powers are centralized into one central authority, typically the national government. This means that the national government holds more power and authority than any regional or local governments. Option A is incorrect because decentralization of powers refers to a system of government where power is distributed among different levels of government, such as national, regional, and local. Option C is also incorrect because division of powers typically refers to a federal system of government, where powers are divided between the national government and regional or local governments. Option D is incorrect because absolute power in the hands of a monarch refers to a monarchy system of government, not a unitary system.
