Option A is incorrect because it describes a democracy, where the people hold the power. Option B is incorrect as it describes a monarchy, where a king or queen holds the ultimate power. Option D is also incorrect as it describes a theocracy, where religious leaders hold authority. An oligarchy is specifically characterized by the influence of a small group, rather than religious leaders or the general population.
