In Country A, some groups felt that the State did not respect their sentiments about language and culture and forced them to adopt only one official language. What does this situation indicate?

Authoritarianism

The correct answer is Option (2) → Authoritarianism

Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by highly concentrated and centralized power that rejects political pluralism. By forcing a single language and culture on diverse groups, the state is actively suppressing dissent and individual freedoms. This is a classic example of an authoritarian regime's attempt to enforce a uniform identity and control.
