Match List I with List II and select the correct answer from the codes given below :

List I	List II
(a) Theory of alienation	(1) Disjunction arises between relations of production and the means of production
(b) Theory of dialectical materialism	(2) No major antagonism disappears unless a new antagonism emerges
(c) Theory of class war	(3) A state of consciousness shaped by relations between man and objects
(d) Theory of revolution	(4) The economic structure of society is the real foundation of society

Answer: B

The correct matching is (a)-(3), (b)-(4), (c)-(2), (d)-(1).

Alienation: in the 1844 Manuscripts Marx describes the worker's estrangement from the product of labour, a state of consciousness shaped by the relation between man and the objects he makes (3).
Dialectical (historical) materialism: the economic structure of society is the real foundation on which the legal and political superstructure rises (4).
Class war: history moves through antagonisms, and one antagonism gives way only when a new one emerges, as bourgeois against proletarian replaced lord against serf (2).
Revolution: when the relations of production become fetters on the forces (means) of production, an era of social revolution begins (1).

Only one option pairs alienation with (3), which settles the answer.
