(B) Developing premises

(C) Evaluation of Alternatives

(D) Selecting a Course of Action

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> (A), (B), (D), (C) - Selecting a course of action before evaluating alternatives is illogical as you cannot make an informed decision without proper evaluation.

Option 2 -> (A), (B), (C), (D) - This follows the natural planning sequence: first set objectives, then develop premises about future conditions, evaluate different alternatives, and finally select the best course of action.

Option 3 -> (B), (A), (D), (C) - Developing premises before establishing objectives is impractical as premises are assumptions based on what you want to achieve.

Option 4 -> (C), (B), (D), (A) - Starting with evaluation of alternatives before establishing objectives makes no sense as you need objectives to determine what alternatives to consider.


Hence, Option 2: (A), (B), (C), (D) -> The planning process follows a logical sequence: first, establish what you want to achieve (Objectives), then develop assumptions about future conditions (Premises), evaluate different ways to achieve objectives (Evaluation of Alternatives), and finally choose the best option (Selecting a Course of Action) -> correct
