Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Anthropology developed differently in different countries and intellectual traditions. Different regions emphasized different branches and terminologies. For example:
• British scholars emphasized Social Anthropology,
• American scholars emphasized Cultural Anthropology,
• India developed Social-Cultural Anthropology,
• The term Anthropology itself has Greek origins. This question tests conceptual understanding of anthropological traditions.

Step 1: Matching Social Anthropology. Social Anthropology became highly developed in: \[ British Tradition \] British anthropologists such as:
• Radcliffe-Brown,
• Malinowski,
• Evans-Pritchard focused mainly on social structure and institutions. Therefore: \[ A \rightarrow II \]

Step 2: Matching Cultural Anthropology. Cultural Anthropology is primarily associated with: \[ American Tradition \] American anthropologists like Franz Boas emphasized:
• Culture,
• Cultural relativism,
• Historical particularism. Thus: \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Matching Social Cultural Anthropology. In India, anthropology developed with combined emphasis on:
• Social organization,
• Culture,
• Tribe-caste relations,
• Civilization studies. Hence: \[ Social Cultural Anthropology \rightarrow Indian Tradition \] Therefore: \[ C \rightarrow IV \]

Step 4: Matching Anthropology. The word Anthropology originates from Greek language: \[ \text{Anthropos = Human} \] \[ \text{Logos = Study} \] Thus: \[ D \rightarrow III \]

Step 5: Writing the final matching combination. The correct matches are: \[ A \rightarrow II \] \[ B \rightarrow I \] \[ C \rightarrow IV \] \[ D \rightarrow III \] Thus, the correct answer becomes: \[ \boxed{\text{(C) A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III}} \]
