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

List I	List II
(a) Elite Model	(1) Concept of information theory
(b) Systems Model	(2) Preserve the status quo
(c) Neo-institutionalist model	(3) Conservative tendency in policy making-decision
(d) Incremental model	(4) Four Arenas of Power

Codes :

Answer: A

The code is a-2, b-1, c-4, d-3.

Elite model: public policy reflects the preferences of a ruling elite, who use it to preserve the status quo (Dye and Zeigler).
Systems model: David Easton's input-output model with feedback draws on the concepts of information theory and cybernetics.
Neo-institutionalist model: four arenas of power, the paper's pairing for the remaining item.
Incremental model: Lindblom's policy-making by small changes to existing policy has a conservative tendency.

Option A is the only code that gives the elite model the status quo and the incremental model its conservatism, so B, C and D are out.
