Answer
A
Both grant political rights to men only.
B
Both give military leaders most of the power.
C
both recognize that citizens have certain rights.

Explanation

An oligarchy is ruled by a small group of people, while a monarchy is ruled by one person, usually a king or queen. In both systems, political power is concentrated in the hands of a limited number of people rather than shared widely among citizens.
