Answer
- D federal state.
Explanation
Article 20(1) of the Basic Law describes Germany as a "democratic and social federal state". A federal state is an overall state made up of states with their own state powers. A confederation, by contrast, is just a loose association of independent states, and a centralized state has no states with their own state authority.
