Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct matching of authors to their concepts or works is as follows: Thomas Hobbes is associated with the idea that 'Might is Right' (or 'Might makes right'), reflecting his view that in a state of nature, power determines authority [2]. Jean-Jacques Rousseau authored the 'Discourse on the Origin of Inequality' (1755), which explores how societal conventions created moral and political inequality. John Locke is a foundational figure for the theory of 'Natural Law' and natural rights, arguing in his 'Two Treatises of Government' that individuals possess inherent rights to life and liberty. Finally, Adam Smith is the author of the seminal economic work 'The Wealth of Nations' (1776), which laid the groundwork for modern free-market economics [2]. Therefore, the sequence A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4 corresponds to Option 2.
