Who among the following geographers is related to ‘primate city’ concept?

The concept of the 'Primate City' was propounded by the American geographer Mark Jefferson in 1939 [1]. In his seminal work, 'The Law of the Primate City,' published in the Geographical Review, Jefferson defined a primate city as one that is at least twice as large as the next largest city in the country and significantly more influential in terms of national culture and economy [3]. While other geographers mentioned in the options contributed to urban theory, their focuses differed: W. Christaller is renowned for the Central Place Theory (1933), which explains the size and distribution of settlements [2], and August Lösch further expanded upon this economic landscape. Griffith Taylor is known for his work on environmental determinism and urban zones. In the Indian context, while primacy is often absent at the national level, it is frequently observed at the regional or state levels [4].
