A
Correct answer
Explanation
F. Riggs correctly observed that in developing countries, bureaucracy performs political roles due to weak party systems and administrative dominance. Harold Laski correctly warned that bureaucracy could threaten democratic government if it becomes too powerful and unaccountable. However, S. Eisenstadt did NOT say bureaucracy is the most rational form of organization - that was Max Weber. Eisenstadt studied bureaucracies in historical and comparative contexts but didn't make this specific claim attributed to Weber. So only 1 and 2 are correctly matched.
