Explanation:

Let's break down the stages as per Veblen’s theory:

- Savagery: This stage refers to hunting and gathering communities, where survival is based on foraging.

- Barbarism: This stage is defined by the cultivation of land, such as early agriculture and domestication.

- Civilization: Here, society is marked by mass production and advanced technological systems.

Now, let's review the options:

- Option 1 (1, 2, 3): Lists all three stages in correct order: Savagery ? Barbarism ? Civilization.

- Option 2 (2, 1, 2): This repeats "2" and puts "Barbarism" first, which is incorrect.

- Option 3 (3, 1, 2, 3, 4): This lists too many numbers/stages. There are only three.

- Option 4 (1, 2, 3): This is the same as Option 1 and is correct.

Option: 4, 1, 2, 3 is the correct answer.
