Option 1 -> Follows the logical sequence: Set standards (B), Measure performance (C), Investigate deviations (D), Take corrective action (A). Option 2 -> Incorrect sequence as it starts with corrective action (A) before establishing standards or measuring performance. Option 3 -> Illogical flow as it attempts correction (A) before measuring performance (C) and investigating causes (D). Option 4 -> Cannot measure and compare (C) before establishing standards and goals (B). Hence, Option 1: (B), (C), (D), (A) -> The controlling process follows a systematic sequence: First, establish standards and goals (B); Second, measure actual performance against standards (C); Third, investigate reasons for any deviations (D); Finally, implement corrective actions (A).
