✅ Correct Option: 2
Option 1 -> (A), (B) and (D) only - Incorrect because statement (B) is false as management is needed in all organizations, not just profit-making ones, and it excludes statement (C) which is true. Option 2 -> (A), (C) and (D) only - This correctly identifies that management is required at all levels, is a complex activity, and is both an art and science, while excluding the false statement (B). Option 3 -> (A), (B), (C) and (D) - Incorrect because it includes statement (B) which is false as management is essential for non-profit organizations, government bodies, and NGOs as well.
