Answer: A
Oriental despotism is the feature of the Asiatic Mode of Production.
Marx described the Asiatic mode as one in which self-sufficient village communities hold land in common, there is no private property in land, and a centralised state extracts surplus as tribute and organises large public works such as irrigation. That all-powerful state over passive villages is the despotism later elaborated by Karl Wittfogel in Oriental Despotism.
Feudalism rests on lords and serfs, the ancient mode on slavery, and the primitive mode on communal societies without a state, so none of them is defined by oriental despotism.
