Hi!

The answer to your question woukd be option C. In a constitutional government, the powers of government are limited by a written document.

Explanation:

An authoritarian government constitutes of a government system in which the government recognizes no formal limits but can be restrained by the power of the social institutions. So basically no limit on government power but they still follow certain social institutions.

In the case of a constitutional government, there's a system of rule in which formal limits are placed on the powers of the government. In other words, this is a government whose powers are defined and limited by a constitution.
