Though the country is divided into administrative units called 'Departments', further divided into cantons, arrondissements and communes, each with its own organs of local administration, the general opinion is that it is almost misleading to talk about local government there. The country referred to is:
AU.S.A.
BSwitzerland
CFrance ✓ Correct
DItaly
Correct answer: (C) France — The country described is France, so the answer is France.
Explanation
★The country described is France, so the answer is France.
★France is divided into departments, and below them arrondissements, cantons and communes.
★Yet its administration has traditionally been highly centralised from Paris.
★Local bodies long had little real autonomy under close central supervision.
★This is why it is said to be misleading to speak of true local self-government.
★So this centralised pattern with departments points to France.
