Explanation

An autocracy is a form of government in which one person holds and exercises power. In choice A, the leader has consolidated power for his own use, so calling the country an autocracy is correct. A democracy involves rule by the people, which makes B incorrect; C describes a government that listens to citizens, not an autocratic one; and D describes a sole decision maker, not a democratic leader.
