Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I): Equity means kindliness and justice; Unity of direction means one head and one plan for common objectives; Order means every employee in appointed place; Discipline means ensuring obedience to rules.

Option 2 -> (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV): Incorrectly matches Equity with obedience to rules and Order with kindliness and justice, which contradicts the fundamental definitions of these principles.

Option 3 -> (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III): Incorrectly matches Equity with obedience, Unity of direction with kindliness, and Discipline with one head and plan, which is conceptually wrong.

Option 4 -> (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II): Incorrectly matches Equity with one head and plan, and Discipline with kindliness and justice, which reverses the core meanings of these principles.


Hence, Option 1: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I) -> According to Fayol's Principles of Management: Equity emphasizes fairness, kindliness and justice towards workers; Unity of Direction ensures activities with common objectives have one head and one plan; Order means everything and everyone in their proper place; and Discipline ensures obedience to organizational rules and agreements -> correct
