The correct answer is A) a royal colony.
A colony run by a governor who was directly responsible to the crown was called a royal colony.
The royal colonies were governed by the king. The Kinng of England picked the governor for the colony and he ruled over the subjects. The governor had veto power over any legislation generated by local legislatures. So one way or the other, the King had total presence and dominion through the governors he appointed in the colonies. Examples of those colonies in America were Massachusetts, Virginia, New York, the Carolinas, and New Jersey.
