"Dynamic Theory" of classification was suggested by :
Answer: B
The dynamic theory of classification is credited to S.R. Ranganathan.
Ranganathan distinguished the older descriptive or enumerative approach, in which a scheme lists ready-made classes, from a dynamic theory in which classes are built by analysing a subject into facets and synthesising class numbers from them. His Colon Classification, revised edition after edition into a freely faceted scheme, put that theory into practice, and his postulates and canons gave it a formal basis.
Melvil Dewey produced the largely enumerative Decimal Classification. W.C.B. Sayers wrote canons for the older descriptive theory, and J.D. Brown devised the Subject Classification, also an enumerative scheme.
