To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options and discuss each one:

(a) Direct monarchy: A direct monarchy is a form of government in which a monarch, such as a king or queen, holds absolute power and authority. So, a direct monarchy is a type of government.

(b) Oligarchy: An oligarchy is a form of government in which a small group of individuals, often wealthy or influential, holds power. Therefore, an oligarchy is a type of government.

(c) City-state: A city-state is a sovereign state that consists of a city and its surrounding territory. In a city-state, the city can function as an independent political unit. Hence, a city-state is a type of government.

(d) Absolute monarchy: An absolute monarchy is a form of government in which a monarch has supreme authority and power, with no governing limitations. Thus, an absolute monarchy is also a type of government.

Now, based on the given options, we can see that all of them are types of government. Therefore, the correct answer is none of the above.
