This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2023 Paper 2 Computer Science and Applications Question Paper (26-Mar-2023)
The correct answer is

Brown

Sociologists define a social institution as an established and organised pattern of behaviour through which a society meets a basic need, such as family for reproduction, school for socialisation and state for order.

The definition ‘‘Institutions are patterns of behaviour that have clustered around a specific need or a desire’’ is the one attributed to Brown, who stresses that institutions grow out of repeated, standardised behaviour around a need.

Bogardus described an institution as a structure of society organised to meet people's needs through well-established procedures, and H.E. Barnes as the social structure and machinery through which society organises its activities; these are different formulations.

Hence, the definition is given by Brown.
