Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
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.
