B Lord Morley Correct
C H. J. Laski

Explanation
Lord Morley is associated with the description of the Prime Minister as "primus inter pares", meaning first among equals, and as the keystone of the Cabinet arch. The expression stresses that the Prime Minister stands formally among Cabinet colleagues but has a decisive coordinating role. Ramsay Muir is more often linked with the ship-of-state image. H. J. Laski is known for stressing the Prime Minister's centrality in the working of government. Munro is not the author of the quoted description in this question.
