Correct answer: (A) Anthropology — Cultural relativism, social evolution and cultural diffusion are anthropological concepts, so the answer is Anthropology.
Explanation
★Cultural relativism, social evolution and cultural diffusion are anthropological concepts, so the answer is Anthropology.
★Anthropology studies human cultures, their growth and their spread across societies.
★Cultural relativism holds that each culture must be judged by its own standards, not by an outside yardstick.
★Cultural diffusion describes how practices and ideas travel from one society to another.
★Political science borrowed these to study political culture, identity and tradition.
★Sociology, philosophy and economics deal with society, ideas and wealth, but not primarily with these culture-spread concepts.
★Such borrowing shows how political science enriches itself by drawing tools from neighbouring disciplines.
