Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's powers are limited and defined by a constitution. The monarch typically performs ceremonial functions while real executive authority rests with an elected government. The United Kingdom is a classic example where the Queen/King 'reigns but does not rule.' This contrasts with absolute monarchy where the ruler's power is unlimited.
