Explanation
★Riggs' fused model rests on agriculture, royal dominance and a barter economy, so the answer is 1, 3 and 4.
★Fred Riggs used the fused model for traditional, undifferentiated societies.
★In such societies one structure performs many functions without specialisation.
★They depend heavily on agriculture and lack industrialisation.
★The royal family dominates administration with little accountability.
★The economy works through exchange and the barter system.
★Attainment value belongs to the modern diffracted society, so it does not fit the fused model.
