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.
