Match List I with List II and select the correct answer from the codes given below :

List I	List II
(i) Patrimonialism	(a) Argentina between 1966-1973
(ii) Majoritarianism	(b) Iraq during 1979 to 2003
(iii) Bureaucratic authoritarianism	(c) Czar during 12th century to 1917
(iv) Military dictatorship	(d) Athenian democracy

Answer: A

The correct matching is (i-c), (ii-d), (iii-a), (iv-b).

Patrimonialism, rule as the personal property of the ruler, fits the Russian Czars (c).
Majoritarianism, rule by the majority of citizens, fits Athenian democracy (d).
Bureaucratic authoritarianism, Guillermo O'Donnell's term, was drawn from Argentina between 1966 and 1973 (a).
Military dictatorship fits Iraq from 1979 to 2003 (b), the period of Saddam Hussein.

The other codes misplace the Athenian and Argentine cases, so only the first option matches all four.
