This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
The contemporary political ideology that is generally supportive of maintaining social and cultural traditions, limiting the role of government in economic life, and ensuring a strong military defense is most accurately classified as:
a. liberal
b. socialist
c. libertarian
d. conservative
e. theocratic
Answer:
The ideology described is the conservative (letter d) one.
Explanation:
The conservative ideology, or conservatism, values what is historically inherited, what is traditional, when it comes to culture, practices, and institutions. Conservatism sees society as a living organism in which institutions and members are all interdependent. Therefore, stability and continuity should be seen as crucial, since the existence and success of one depends on the existence and success of the other. Government is seen not as a master, but as a servant to people; its role should be limited.
