Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher of the 15th century. He was a theoretician of political absolutism, by which it is considered that the Head of State should not be subject to any institutional limitation outside the Divine Law.
According to Absolutism theory, the exercise of power (legislation, administration and jurisdiction) relies on a monarch, who is considered to be the representative of God on Earth. This implies the identification of the person of the absolute king with the State itself.
Considering this, we can conclude that the correct answer is B: A country is controlled by a king who has the absolute authority to make decisions.
