Explanation
★The correct match is I-d, II-a, III-b, IV-c, so the answer is option B.
★Public administration's evolution is dated in successive stages, each tied to a distinct period.
★The politics-administration dichotomy (IV) is the earliest, running 1887-1926, hence IV-c.
★The principles of administration phase (III) follows in 1927-1937, the era of POSDCORB and universal principles, hence III-b.
★The era of challenge (II), 1938-1947, questioned those principles through Barnard and Simon, hence II-a.
★The crisis of identity (I), 1948-1970, reopened the place of values and widened the field's scope, hence I-d.
★Waldo's 'The Administrative State' (1948) and the rise of comparative studies mark this fourth, identity-questioning stage.
