Of all the answers offered, this statement is the closest to totalitarian views. Multiple segments define a totalitarian regime. Restriction of opinion, press freedom is generally some of these qualities.

Also, any effort to control the life of an ordinary citizen is a feature of a totalitarian regime. Throughout history, there have been many, and Spain during the "Francoism" is undoubtedly an excellent example of an absolute, fascist regime.

Answer:

The correct answer is C. The aspect of Franco's rule that most strongly indicates totalitarianism is that the government exerted control over its citizens' lives.

Explanation:

Francisco Franco was a general who became the dictator of Spain as a result of the Spanish Civil War between 1936 and 1939 and who retained control of the country until his death in 1975.

When the army began preparing a rebellion against Spain's left-wing government in 1936, Franco was prominent in the preparations. The other top leaders among the officers who attempted to seize power were Jose Sanjurjo and Emilio Mola. Jose Sanjurjo was intended as the leader, but was killed in a plane crash while flying from Portugal to Spain, and Franco became the leader. He became leader of the National forces, and at the end of the civil war on 1 April 1939, was dictator of Spain. He had a fairly close relationship with Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, who had assisted him in the civil war, but he refused to join them in the Second World War.

His period in power was characterized by a heavy emphasis on Spanish tradition and Catholicism, and strong opposition to any threat to central authority.
