    • Only 1

    • Only 2

    • Both

    • None

    A. Only 1
    Explanation
    The statement "Only 1" is the correct answer because F.W. Riggs observed three trends in the comparative study of public administration, and one of those trends was the shift from normative to empirical studies. This means that researchers were moving away from studying what should be done in public administration based on norms and ideals, and instead focusing on studying what is actually happening through empirical research and data analysis. Therefore, the statement "Only 1" is incorrect because it contradicts the observation made by F.W. Riggs.
