In totalitarian states, all institutions are totally controlled. This type of the state is deprived of legitimization. In order to control society as a whole, any kind of violence and fear can be used. There is an absolute supervision and surveillance on the subordinates. There is no differentiation of public or private sphere. Almost everything in the social sphere is under absolute control. Such totalitarian states/systems “rely on modern technologies to monitor and control people; mass propaganda and electronic surveillance are widely used to influence people’s thinking and control their actions”. The most remarkable example is the government of the National Socialist Party (Nazi) in Germany. 

Athough the example is not mentioned in the unit, today it is considered to be a totalitarian state (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/theworldpost/wp/2018/02/21/china-internet/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f597ef119bfc).

Therefore, the correct option is C.
