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

List-I Statements	List-II Thinkers
(a) Conflict theory is a creation of men of affairs	(1) Adam Smith
(b) The conflict of self-interest and social interest	(2) Martindale
(c) Social and cultural evolution is totally the result of group conflict	(3) Dahrendorf
(d) Group conflict is to be seen in terms of conflict over the legitimacy of authority relations	(4) Gumplowicz

Codes : (a) (b) (c) (d)

Answer: C

The correct code is (2) (1) (4) (3).

Conflict theory as a creation of men of affairs: Don Martindale.
The conflict of self-interest and social interest: Adam Smith.
Social and cultural evolution as wholly the result of group conflict: Ludwig Gumplowicz.
Group conflict over the legitimacy of authority relations: Ralf Dahrendorf.

Dahrendorf's theory turns on authority in 'imperatively coordinated associations', which is why the code giving him (c) and Gumplowicz (d) is wrong.
