Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
• A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
• A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III

• A. \(1\)
• B. \(2\)
• C. \(3\)
• D. \(4\)

Hint:

Remember these famous anthropology author-book pairs:
• Malinowski \(\rightarrow\) Argonauts of the Western Pacific
• Leslie White \(\rightarrow\) The Science of Culture
• Eric Wolf \(\rightarrow\) Europe and the People Without History
• Julian Steward \(\rightarrow\) Theory of Culture Change

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Anthropology includes the study of important anthropologists and their contributions through famous books and theories. Matching-based questions test conceptual understanding of:
• Anthropologists
• Their schools of thought
• Major publications
• Contributions to cultural anthropology To solve such questions correctly, we should identify each author and recall their most famous work.

Step 1: Matching Bronislaw Malinowski.
Bronislaw Malinowski is known as one of the founders of functional anthropology and participant observation. His famous book is: \[ \textit{Argonauts of the Western Pacific} \] Therefore: \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Matching Leslie White.
Leslie White was a major anthropologist associated with cultural evolution and neo-evolutionism. His famous work is: \[ \textit{The Science of Culture: A Study of Man and Civilization} \] Therefore: \[ B \rightarrow IV \]

Step 3: Matching Eric Wolf.
Eric Wolf is widely known for studying peasants, power structures, and global historical systems. His famous work is: \[ \textit{Europe and the People Without History} \] Therefore: \[ C \rightarrow I \]

Step 4: Matching Julian Steward.
Julian Steward developed the theory of cultural ecology and multilinear evolution. His important book is: \[ \textit{Theory of Culture Change: The Methodology of Multilinear Evolution} \] Therefore: \[ D \rightarrow II \]

Step 5: Writing the complete matching sequence.
Thus the correct matching becomes: \[ A-III,\quad B-IV,\quad C-I,\quad D-II \] This corresponds to: \[ \boxed{(3)} \]
