The correct answer is B. A theocracy uses religious beliefs as a basis for laws, whereas an absolute monarchy may have nonreligious laws.

Explanation:

Theocracy and monarchy are both type of government that were mainly common during past centuries. In the case of theocracy, the major authority of the state is a priest or religious figure that rules in the name of God and therefore uses religion as the basis for laws and ruling, this means the leader of a theocracy is considered as the representant of God who is usually selected by other religious figures. On the other hand, in the monarchy, the monarch or king is considered as the authority of the state, also, different to theocracy the monarch is not selected by other leaders or God but inherits the power and rules according to the laws established, which means it does not necessarily use religion to govern. Considering this, the best statement that explains the difference between theocracy and monarchy is "A theocracy uses religious beliefs as a basis for laws, whereas an absolute monarchy may have nonreligious laws".
