Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Heider introduced the idea of {balance} in attitude structures in his work culminating in the classic book {The Psychology of Interpersonal Relations} (1958). Although an influential 1946 paper set the stage, standard texts/date-keys attribute the theory’s statement to 1958. Hence option (C).
