Solution

The correct option is A Hillman
Political Science is a science of state and Government. It deals with social groups organized under the sovereign state. In the words of Paul Janet "Political Science is that part of social science which treats the foundation of the state and principles of government."
According to this definition of Political science, it is clear that sociology and political science are interdependent. Any change in the political system or nature of power structure brings changes in society and almost all political problems have a social cause and for the solution of these political problems political science takes the help of sociology.
