Answer:

A) modernization theory

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethnocentric because it has "West is the best" assumption.

Only considers Western countries to be developed. Ethnocentric because it only considers Western countries to be developed.

modern technologies and institutional structures might be useless in a country that has problems getting electricity to its citizens

Neglecting internal factors like corruption and bad governance that can stop development. Many dont want to invest in them. example a technology company has to worry if there is any consequence in a foreign country if someone there steals an invention & patent. example if there is an app someone might copy & resell it & a corrupt country, wont punish them

Not accounting for diversity in development experiences. Some advance via industrialization while others thru farming or tourism
