The answer is A. An autocracy is a government in which there is "supreme power" under one leader, namely Hussein from 1979-2003.
The rule of Saddam Hussein is best described as a autocracy. It is in the definition of an autocracy that the power is in the hands of one person, and the power was very much in the hands of Saddam Hussein: not in the hands of his party, but rather he personally had all the power.
