Solution (By Examveda Team)

The first use of the concept of political culture was made by Gabriel Almond, a prominent American political scientist.

He introduced this concept in the late 1950s and developed it further in collaboration with Sidney Verba in their landmark book "The Civic Culture" (1963).

Political culture refers to the set of attitudes, beliefs, and sentiments that give order and meaning to a political process. It encompasses both the political ideals and the operating norms of a polity.

Almond classified political cultures into parochial, subject, and participant, based on the level of political awareness and involvement of the citizens.

This concept was central to understanding how political systems are maintained or changed and how they function in different societies.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A: Gabriel Almond.
