Correct answer: (C) A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy — A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy was written by Marx alone, so it is the answer.
Explanation
★A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy was written by Marx alone, so it is the answer.
★Marx published it in 1859, and it contains his famous preface on historical materialism.
★There he states that the mode of production conditions social, political and intellectual life.
★The Communist Manifesto of 1848 was jointly written by Marx and Engels.
★The Holy Family of 1845 was their first joint book, a polemic against the Young Hegelians.
★The German Ideology, also of 1845 to 1846, was likewise co-authored by the two.
★So three of the four are collaborations, while the Contribution stands as Marx's solo work.
