Thanks!

To answer this question, we need to review the history of Latin American countries since independence. It is important to note that Latin America consists of many countries, each with its own unique political trajectory. While there have been instances of military coups, socialist governments, and communist governments in some Latin American countries, it is not accurate to state that these scenarios have occurred in most countries.

Therefore, the correct answer is a. Elected governments have been overthrown by a military coup d'état. It is suggested to conduct further research to understand the specific historical context of each Latin American country to gain a more comprehensive understanding of their political developments.
