Factors contributing to the emphasis on Comparative Public Administration in America :
(1) The influence of German immigration since about 1933
(2) The translation of the writings of Max Weber
(3) Because Public Administration emerged in America
(4) Final entrance of the USA into world politics after 1945
Answer: B
The factors are (1), (2) and (4).
Comparative public administration grew in America after the Second World War. The arrival of European, especially German, scholars after 1933 brought continental traditions of administrative study; the translation of Max Weber's writings on bureaucracy gave the field its central model; and the entry of the United States into world politics after 1945, with technical assistance programmes for new nations, created a practical need to understand foreign administrations.
Statement 3 is not a cause of the comparative emphasis: that public administration began in America explains the earlier, American-centred focus that the comparative movement reacted against. Only one option omits (3).
