Answer: A
Socialisation in modern society is specific, universalistic and instrumental (1, 2, 3).
In the pattern variables of Parsons, modern societies are marked by specificity, universalism and instrumental (affectively neutral) relationships, while traditional societies are diffuse, particularistic and ascriptive.
Ascriptive (4) belongs to traditional society, so the options with 4 are wrong. Parsons set out his pattern variables as choices between pairs: affectivity and neutrality, diffuseness and specificity, particularism and universalism, ascription and achievement. The modern side of each pair gives the answer here.
