Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Sales Promotion correctly matches with short-term incentives (II), Advertising with impersonal paid communication (III), Personal Selling with interactive seller-buyer relationship (IV), and Public Relations with managing public opinion (I).
Option 2 -> Incorrectly matches Sales Promotion with managing public opinion (I), which is the role of Public Relations, not Sales Promotion.
Option 3 -> Incorrectly matches Sales Promotion with managing public opinion (I) and Advertising with short-term incentives (II), which reverses their actual definitions.
Option 4 -> Incorrectly matches Sales Promotion with impersonal communication (III), which is actually the definition of Advertising, creating multiple mismatches.
Hence, Option 1: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I) -> Sales Promotion provides short-term incentives like discounts and offers (II); Advertising is mass, impersonal, paid communication (III); Personal Selling builds direct interactive relationships (IV); and Public Relations manages organizational reputation and public opinion (I) -> correct
