Solution

The correct option is A Scitovsky
Scitovsky said "Economics is a social science concerned with the administration of scarce resources". Just like Robbins, Scitovsky also believed that economics is a science which deals with the study of human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses. Since human wants are unlimited and resources are limited, it calls for efficient allocation of the resources.
