A constitutional government by definition is a limited government.

A constitutional government is one whose powers are defined and limited by a constitution. The constitution sets out the framework of government, specifies the powers and duties of its different branches, and often includes provisions that protect individual rights and freedoms, thereby placing limits on governmental authority.

Options A, B, and C describe potential characteristics of certain types of democratic governments but do not define the fundamental nature of a constitutional government. A government by legislature is specific to parliamentary systems. A popular government implies governance based on the will of the people, which is a characteristic of democracy, but not the defining feature of a constitutional government. A multi-party government is a characteristic of many democratic systems but is not essential for a government to be constitutional. The core concept of a constitutional government is that it is bound and limited by the law embodied in the constitution.
