UPSC Civil Services preparation
- ASigmund Freud: Psychoanalysis
- BAnna Freud: Child psychiatry
- CMilton Friedman: Economic
- DEric R. Kandel: LiteratureCorrect
Explanation
The correct answer is D because Eric R. Kandel is a world renowned neuroscientist, not a figure associated with literature. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2000 for his research on the physiological basis of memory storage in neurons.
The other options are correctly matched. Sigmund Freud is the founder of psychoanalysis. His daughter, Anna Freud, is a pioneer in the field of child psychoanalysis and child psychiatry. Milton Friedman was a famous Nobel Prize winning economist known for his work on monetary policy and consumption analysis. Since Kandel is associated with medicine and neuroscience, option D is the mismatched pair.
