Explanation
★Sociology is treated here as the parent science of all the social sciences, so the answer is Sociology.
★Sociology studies society as a whole, the web of relationships within which every other social science operates.
★Because politics, economics and law all unfold inside society, sociology is regarded as the broadest of the social sciences.
★Political science draws many concepts, such as group, community and social change, from this wider sociological base.
★History supplies the record of past events but is not treated as the parent of the social sciences.
★Philosophy is the mother of knowledge in general, yet in the social-science family sociology is given the parent status.
★The close bond means political sociology grew as a bridge discipline between the two fields.
