  • A.Advanced capitalism
  • B.Developed socialism
  • C.Modern totalitarianism
  • D.Politics of developing countries

Answer: D

Structural functionalism as a method was developed to study the politics of developing countries, so (D) is the keyed answer. Gabriel Almond and others of the comparative politics school wanted a framework that could be applied to the new states of Asia and Africa, where formal institutions were weak, by asking what functions the political system performs and which structures perform them. The other options name types of system that the older institutional studies had covered: advanced capitalism in option (A), developed socialism in option (B) and modern totalitarianism in option (C).
