The 'CLECTS' in prismatic society of F.W. Riggs are :

  • A.Elected leaders of middle class
  • B.Political leaders who could not win the elections
  • C.Elite groups who use traditional clout to win elections
  • D.Typical prismatic group

Answer: D

Clects are a typical prismatic group.

In Fred Riggs's model of the prismatic society, which lies between the traditional (fused) and the modern (diffracted) types, a clect is a group that uses modern associational forms, such as a party or a union, while serving the narrow communal or kinship interests of a traditional group. It is the characteristic group of prismatic society.

The other options describe particular kinds of politician, not the group form Riggs named.
