Explanation: The correct associations for the listed concepts are as follows: Welfarism is linked with the idea of better health and living standards, founded on the principle that actions and policies should be judged by their consequences on human or animal welfare. Socialism supports the principle of equal pay for equal work, advocating for a societal structure where the means of production, distribution, and exchange are owned or regulated collectively by the community. Gandhian Philosophy promotes the development of cottage industries, emphasizing the importance of small-scale and rural industries like Khadi, handlooms, sericulture, and handicrafts to the Indian economy. Internationalism focuses on promoting international peace and security, surpassing nationalism and encouraging greater political and economic cooperation among nations. Thus, option (4) is identified as the correct answer.
