Which of the following pairs is incorrectly matched?

B.
Rural urban continuum ⇔ Max Weber
C.
Rurbanisation ⇔ Radcliffe Brown
AnswerD.
Autonomous culture ⇔ Maclver
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Rurbanisation refers to the blending of rural and urban characteristics in settlements, often seen in areas transitioning from rural to urban due to development and industrialization.Radcliffe-Brown was a British social anthropologist known for his work in structural functionalism, but he did not contribute to the concept of rurbanisation.
The concept of Rurbanisation is more closely associated with Indian sociologists and planners, particularly in the context of integrated rural-urban development.
Therefore, the pair "Rurbanisation ⇔ Radcliffe Brown" is incorrectly matched.
