Answer
A
Leaders often seize power by illegitimate means.
B
All citizens prosper under the government.
C
Citizens support the government’s official ideology.
D
A single leader or a very powerful group rules.
E
Leaders refuse to tolerate dissenting views.
Explanation
Authoritarian governments concentrate power in one leader or a small, powerful group and often suppress opposition. Leaders may seize power through illegitimate means and refuse to tolerate dissenting views. Requiring or promoting an official ideology does not mean that all citizens genuinely support it, and citizens do not necessarily prosper under authoritarian rule.
