The answer is D. Citizens can replace the leader if he or she does not meet the citizens' needs.

Explanation:

In a dictatorship citizens' have no power, so they can't just replace the leader because all of the civil expressions of discontent and protest are highly controlled; protests are often met with force and elections, if there are any, are manipulated. This is the reason why most dictators manage to keep thier positions for many years.
