The correct answer is letter D

Walt Whilt Rostow uses a historical methodology to support his theory and seek understanding of the process of economic development.

According to Rostow, The political factor, and more specifically the nationalist ideal, is paramount in the effective transition from traditional to modern society. The important issue is to direct this nationalist force towards change, breaking regionally created power links by landowners empowered by a colonial power; and this process in traditional societies is delicate.
