The correct answer is B. Citizens could lose their freedom

Explanation:

Absolute monarchy implies the monarch has unlimited or unrestricted power, which often leads to citizens' oppression and tyranny because there are no organizations or branches of government that can protect citizens. This idea is explained by Montesquieu as he states united powers exerted by the same person lead to apprehensions and lack of liberty "there can be no liberty; because apprehensions may arise". Moreover, Montesquieu explains an absolute monarch would create and enact tyrannical laws according to his interests "should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner." In this context, one of the consequences of this government is the loss of freedom (option B).
