Correct Answer:

Option A – republic

Explanation

A non-monarchical state can best be described as a republican government which has a Head of State elected by the people. That means that a sovereign state is referred to as a republic if the country has no traditional ruler or his representative as its Head of State but one chosen by the people with a fixed term of office.
