Find the odd one out :
Answer: D
The key gives Structural-functional Theory as the odd one out.
Human relations theory, the socio-economic (humanistic) view of the worker and humanistic theory belong to one family in the study of administration: they treat the organisation as a set of people with social and psychological needs, and they grew from the Hawthorne studies and later work on motivation. Structural-functional theory is different in origin. It comes from sociology (Talcott Parsons and others) and explains institutions by the functions their structures perform for the whole system.
The question does not say what the grouping is. I could not find a source that lists these four theories together, so the key is kept by that reading, not by a quoted classification.
