Answer

  • C A republic

Explanation

The United States is a republic: the people elect representatives who decide on their behalf – hence also "representative democracy". USCIS also accepts "Constitution-based federal republic". There is no direct democracy at the federal level in which the people vote on every law, and the United States has never had a monarch.
