Answer 1

The legal control of certain individuals or groups by other individuals or groups that is socially endorsed and institutionalized (for example, it is generally recognized that adult guardians have the legal right to make decisions on behalf of their children who are younger than 18 years old) is also known as: Authority.

Since all the words are similar and hence very confusing but we can reach to a conclusion as the first three words referred to an absolute control without the Vincent if the individuals or groups which are controlled but the Authority refers to accepted power—that is, power that people agree to follow. People listen to authority figures because they feel that these individuals are worthy of respect. Generally speaking, people perceive the objectives and demands of an authority figure as reasonable and beneficial, or true.
