Explanation
The correct match is Option B based on the following demographic and economic theories:
- Optimum Population Theory: This theory was popularized and refined by Edwin Cannan (spelled 'Kennan' in the question). It identifies the ideal population size that maximizes per capita income given the resources and technology available.
- Social Mal-adjustment Theory: Henry George, a critic of Malthus, argued that population pressure and poverty were not due to natural laws but were the result of social maladjustment and the unequal distribution of wealth and land.
- Demographic Transition Theory: This was first proposed by Warren Thompson in 1929. It explains the historical shift from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as societies industrialize.
- Population-Food Supply Relationship Theory: This is the famous Malthusian Theory by Thomas Robert Malthus, which posits that population grows geometrically while food supply grows arithmetically.
