Answer
Brief Explanations:
To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:
- Dictatorship: Involves rule by a single person (a dictator), not a small group of nobles. Eliminate this.
- Democracy: Involves rule by the people (either directly or through representatives), not a small group of landowning nobles. Eliminate this.
- Oligarchy: Is defined as rule by a small group of people (often with wealth, power, or noble status, like landowning nobles here). This matches the description.

C. oligarchy
