The correct answer is

(a) (b) (c) (d)
(iii) (iv) (ii) (i)

Fritz Machlup, in The Production and Distribution of Knowledge (1962), measured the knowledge industries and laid the foundation of the idea of the information society.

Jan van Dijk coined the term network society in 1991 to describe a society organised around media and social networks.

Claude E. Shannon is the father of information theory through his 1948 paper A Mathematical Theory of Communication, while Paul Otlet, founder of documentation, is regarded as the father of information science.

So the pairs are (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(ii) and (d)-(i).

Hence, (a) (b) (c) (d)
(iii) (iv) (ii) (i)
.
