Solution
The correct option is A Lionel Robbins
Professor
Lionel Robbins in his book ‘Nature and Significance
of Economic Science’ (1932), gave a more exact and precise definition of economics.
According
to Robbins, economics studies the problems which arise because of the scarcity
of resources. Nature has not provided mankind sufficient resources to satisfy
all its wants.
