Explanation
The question is asking about the system of government that was in place in Nigeria between 1960 and 1966. The options are confederal, unitary, presidential, and Westminster systems of government.A confederal system of government is one where power is held by independent states who come together to form a union. A unitary system of government is one where power is held by the central government, with little to no power given to regional or local governments. A presidential system of government is one where the president is both the head of state and head of government. A Westminster system of government is one where there is a parliamentary system with a monarch as the symbolic head of state.
