B
Correct answer
Explanation
A federal system describes a political structure where states are united under a central government but retain independence in internal matters. 'Capital' refers to a city, not a system. 'Creole' refers to people of mixed descent. 'Collectivism' is a social/cultural philosophy, not a political structure.
