Codes :
Answer: C
The trends not associated with comparative public administration are (iii), prismatic to fused, and (iv), traditional to structural-functional. The recognised trends are from normative to empirical, from ideographic to nomothetic and from non-ecological to ecological.
Statement (iii) is the wrong way round, since Riggs' models of societies run from fused to prismatic, and statement (iv) is not one of the stated trends of the field. The options that include (i) or (ii) wrongly count a true trend as unassociated, so the third option is correct.
