Explanation

Bigamy is the practice of having two spouses simultaneously (two wives or two husbands, though typically refers to two wives in common usage). The prefix 'bi-' means two. The other options have different meanings: autocracy (rule by one person), aristocracy (rule by privileged class), and cynic (person who believes only selfish motives drive human actions).
