★The view that government requires a special elite fits Conservatism, which favours a stable, hierarchical order led by an experienced elite.
★The view that the majority are incapable of effective self-government fits Liberalism, recalling early liberals like J.S. Mill who initially backed limited suffrage.
★The view that political democracy ignores the lack of democracy in economic relations fits Marxism, with its critique of merely formal democracy.

★So the correct combination is I-d, II-a, III-b, IV-c.
