B Correct answer
Explanation

Ukase is an authoritative decree or order, especially one issued by a Russian tsar. It refers to a proclamation or command that must be obeyed. 'An authoritative decree' is the exact definition. 'Contract', 'Bond', and 'Agreement' imply mutual consent, which is not what ukase means.
