The correct answer to the question is option 4, Japan. In Japan, the Head of the State, known as the Emperor, obtains his position through the law of hereditary succession. This means that the position is passed down from one generation to the next within the same family. The Japanese monarchy has a long history, and the current Emperor, Emperor Naruhito, ascended to the throne in 2019 after the abdication of his father, Emperor Akihito. The hereditary succession in Japan is governed by the Imperial Household Law, which determines the rules for the selection and succession of the Emperor. It is important to note that while some other countries have monarchies with hereditary succession, such as the United Kingdom or Saudi Arabia, the question specifically focuses on Japan.
