1859
1857
1855
1853

The correct answer is: A. 1859

The Critique of Political Economy is a book by Karl Marx, first published in 1859. It is the first volume of Marx’s magnum opus, Das Kapital. The book is a critical analysis of political economy, and it lays out Marx’s theory of capitalism.

The book was originally published in German, and it was translated into English in 1887. The book has been translated into many other languages, and it is considered one of the most important works of political philosophy ever written.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part, “The Process of Production of Capital,” deals with the production of commodities. The second part, “The Circulation of Capital,” deals with the circulation of commodities. The third part, “The General Law of Capitalist Accumulation,” deals with the accumulation of capital.

The book is a complex and challenging work, but it is also a rewarding one. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the nature of capitalism.

The other options are incorrect because they are not the years in which The Critique of Political Economy was published.
