  2. Disease, Gardens, Toys, Electronics, and Transportation

  3. Sociology, Anthropology, Archeology, Economics, and Statistics

  4. Intervention, Theory, Research, Surveys, and Experiments

The correct answer is: Sociology, Anthropology, Archeology, Economics, and Statistics

The options A, B and D are incorrect because they list either only one correct area, or a mix of other subjects that are not subfields of sociology. Option A lists a mix of Economics, Political Science, Anthropology, Psychology, and Education, which are individual branches of social science, but not subfields of sociology. Option B lists very specific areas that do not focus on the study of human society and social relations. Option D lists some methods used within sociology, but not the main areas of study themselves. Option C lists five specific areas of sociology, namely Sociology, Anthropology, Archeology, Economics, and Statistics, which makes it the correct answer.
