Option 4 : A, B and C Only

Authoritarianism and Totalitarianism are both terms that are different analytically but constitute similarities. 

  • While authoritarianism wants the blind deference of its population to authority.
  • Totalitarianism seeks to achieve this through imposing complete control over the lives of its citizens.
  • One of the characteristics of authoritarian regimes is a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally accountable to the public.
  • They tend to rely on passive mass acceptance rather than active popular backing and will permit social and economic organizations that are not under government control.
  • Authoritarian regimes may be institutionalised and legitimate.

Thus, A, B and C Only are correct options.
