Richard Vaughn

Explanation:

Richard Vaughn was niether a sociologist nor a famous person by any means.

The other three options, on the other hand, refer to three greatly influential sociologists:

Auguste Comte is considered to be the founder of sociology as a distinct academic field. He is credited for the concept of "social evolution". Karl Marx was actually a philosopher, but his writings are very relevant in both economics and sociology. Max Weber is considered the father of modern sociology, and developed theories about economic sociology, cultural sociology, and protestantism.
