The correct answer is

All four works are landmarks of the comparative public administration movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

a. William J. Siffin edited Toward the Comparative Study of Public Administration (1957), one of the first collections to set out the agenda of the comparative movement. So a – ii.

b. Ferrel Heady wrote Public Administration: A Comparative Perspective (1966), the standard textbook in the field, which also classified the approaches to comparative study. So b – i.

c. Dwight Waldo wrote Comparative Public Administration: Prologue, Problems and Promise (1964), a review of the progress and difficulties of the comparative movement. So c – iii.

d. Fred W. Riggs wrote Administration in Developing Countries: The Theory of Prismatic Society (1964), in which he set out his prismatic–sala model. So d – iv.

The matching is therefore a – ii, b – i, c – iii, d – iv.
