Explanation
★The primary agents of political socialisation here are family and social class, so that pairing is the answer.
★Political socialisation is the process by which people acquire political attitudes, values and behaviour.
★Primary agents are those that shape political orientations early and most directly.
★The family transmits first loyalties, party leanings and basic attitudes to the young.

★School and peer groups also socialise, but here they are treated as secondary agents.
★Agents of socialisation together build and renew a society's political culture.
