Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> (A), (B) and (D) only - This includes "systematized body of knowledge" which is a characteristic of management as a science, not art.

Option 2 -> (A), (B) and (C) only - This also includes "systematized body of knowledge" which represents management as a science, not art.

Option 3 -> (A), (B), (C) and (D) - This includes all features, but "systematized body of knowledge" is characteristic of science, not art.

Option 4 -> (B), (C) and (D) only - This correctly identifies features of art: theoretical knowledge provides foundation, personalized application shows individual skill variation, and practice with creativity demonstrates artistic elements.


Hence, Option 4: (B), (C) and (D) only -> Management is considered as art because it requires existence of theoretical knowledge as a foundation, personalized application where each manager applies techniques uniquely based on their skill and judgment, and it is based on practice and creativity where managers develop expertise through continuous practice and creative problem-solving. Feature (A) "systematized body of knowledge" is a characteristic of management as a science, not art. -> correct
