The correct answer is b. A. Marshall.<br /><br />Alfred Marshall, a prominent economist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is often credited with the abandonment of the term "political economy" in favor of the more neutral term "economics." Marshall's work, particularly his influential book "Principles of Economics," published in 1890, helped to establish economics as a distinct and scientific discipline, focusing on the study of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services without the explicit political connotations of "political economy."
