Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV) - Incorrectly matches Strategy with "general statement that guides thinking" (that's Policy) and Policy with "broad contours" (that's Strategy).

Option 2 -> (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV) - Correctly matches: Objectives with desired future position, Strategy with broad contours of business, Policy with general guiding statements, and Procedures with routine steps.

Option 3 -> (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III) - Incorrectly swaps the matches for Strategy, Policy, and Procedures.

Option 4 -> (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II) - Completely mismatches all elements, placing Objectives as broad contours instead of desired future position.


Hence, Option 2: (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV) -> Objectives represent the desired future position management wants to reach; Strategy defines the broad contours/framework of the organization's business approach; Policy provides general statements that guide decision-making and thinking; Procedures are the routine, step-by-step instructions for carrying out specific activities -> correct
