D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a confederal system of government, the state or regional government has all the powers under them. This shows that the member-state in the confederation is more powerful than that of the central system of government. In the political system of any county, if the state is sovereign, it will result in a confederation.

Detailed explanation-2: -A confederation has a weak central authority that derives all its powers from the state or provincial governments. The states of a confederation retain all the powers of an independent nation, such as the right to maintain a military force, print money, and make treaties with other national powers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The confederal form of government is an association of independent states. The central government gets its authority from the independent states. Power rests in each individual state, whose representatives meet to address the needs of the group.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a unitary system, all power lies with the national government, whereas in a confederation, the vast majority of power rests with the states.

Detailed explanation-5: -In a unitary system of government, the central government holds most of the power. The unitary state still has local and regional governmental offices, but these are under the direct control or authority of the central government. The United Kingdom is one example of a unitary nation.
