What are the five traditional areas of sociology?

Economics, Political Science, Anthropology, Psychology, and Education
Disease, Gardens, Toys, Electronics, and Transportation
Sociology, Anthropology, Archeology, Economics, and Statistics
Intervention, Theory, Research, Surveys, and Experiments

The correct answer is: Sociology, Anthropology, Archeology, Economics, and Statistics

The options A, B and D are incorrect because they list either only one correct area, or a mix of other subjects that are not subfields of sociology. Option A lists a mix of Economics, Political Science, Anthropology, Psychology, and Education, which are individual branches of social science, but not subfields of sociology. Option B lists very specific areas that do not focus on the study of human society and social relations. Option D lists some methods used within sociology, but not the main areas of study themselves. Option C lists five specific areas of sociology, namely Sociology, Anthropology, Archeology, Economics, and Statistics, which makes it the correct answer.
