Explanation
★The correct pairing is I-c, II-d, III-a, IV-b.
★The natural rights theory holds that intuition or reason is the source of rights.
★The utilitarian theory, following Bentham, holds that man has no rights against the state.
★For Bentham the state decides the utility of a right, so rights are creatures of law.
★The multicultural theory defends group differentiated rights for cultural communities.
★The communitarian theory centres on the politics of the common good of the community.
★Together these capture the rival foundations claimed for rights.
