He was a Fascist Dictator. Anarchy is the absence of organized government. Dictatorship is rule by one by force. Monarchy is rule by one person with consent. Democracy is rule solely by the people, which mean the U.S. is not a true democracy, but it is a democratic republic. Does that help?

Dictatorship refers to an autocratic form of absolute rule by leadership unrestricted by law, constitutions, or other social and political factors within the state.
Mussolini practiced the political ideal of Fascism, which has a few definintions:
(1) A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism.
This definition best suits your topic because it defines what he did or the why of it.

Benito Mussolini (1883-1945) over the course of his lifetime went from Socialism - he was editor of Avanti, a socialist newspaper - to the leadership of a new political movement called "fascism" [after "fasces", the symbol of bound sticks used a totem of power in ancient Rome].
(Im curious as to where the choices came from)

B. Dictatorship - the answer is dictatorship because it is one ruler who is controlling everything.
