The assertion that corruption increased when opposition political parties were banned in Ghana can be best explained by the option:
**Nkrumah’s government held too much power, and officials could do whatever they wanted.**
When political opposition is suppressed, it often leads to an environment where accountability is diminished. Without checks and balances from opposing parties, government officials may engage in corrupt practices with limited oversight and minimal consequences. This concentration of power can result in abuses and corrupt activities going unchecked, which is a common phenomenon in authoritarian regimes.
