Question

The sequence of the five stages of economic growth identified by Rostow are in the following order:

• A. Traditional, Maturity, Transitional, Take-off, High Mass Consumption
• B. Transitional, Traditional, Take-off, Maturity, High Mass Consumption
• C. Traditional, Transitional, Take-off, Maturity, High Mass Consumption
• D. Transitional, Traditional, Maturity, Take-off, High Mass Consumption

Hint:

Rostow's Five Stages of Growth: \[ \boxed{ \text{Traditional Society} \rightarrow \text{Preconditions for Take-off} \rightarrow \text{Take-off} \rightarrow \text{Drive to Maturity} \rightarrow \text{Age of High Mass Consumption} } \] Remember the mnemonic: TPTMH

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: W.W. Rostow, in his theory of economic growth, proposed that every economy passes through five successive stages of development.

Step 1: Recall the five stages of Rostow's Growth Model. The stages are:
• Traditional Society
• Preconditions for Take-off (Transitional Stage)
• Take-off
• Drive to Maturity
• Age of High Mass Consumption Thus, \[ \boxed{ \text{Traditional} \rightarrow \text{Transitional} \rightarrow \text{Take-off} \rightarrow \text{Maturity} \rightarrow \text{High Mass Consumption} } \]

Step 2: Compare with the options. Only Option (C) follows the correct chronological order. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer}=(C)} \]
