Who propounded the theory of "Expanding Torrent" ?
Answer: B
The theory of the 'Expanding Torrent' was propounded by Liddell Hart (spelt 'Liddle Hart' in the paper).
Basil Liddell Hart developed the idea in the early 1920s from the German infiltration tactics of 1918: attacking forces should probe for weak points, pour through the gaps like a torrent bursting through a dam, and widen the breach as they go deeper, rather than attacking along the whole front. It became part of his 'indirect approach'.
J. F. C. Fuller wrote on mechanised warfare and Plan 1919, while Jomini and Clausewitz belong to the Napoleonic era a century earlier.
