Which of the following are related to the social objectives of management?

(A) Using environmentally friendly methods of production

(B) Providing financial loans to suppliers

(C) Providing basic amenities like schools and creches to employees

(D) Giving employment opportunities to economically weaker sections of society

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> Includes environmentally friendly production, employee amenities, and employment for weaker sections - covers key social objectives while excluding financial loans to suppliers.

Option 2 -> Includes financial loans to suppliers which is primarily an economic/business objective, not a social objective focused on society's welfare.

Option 3 -> Incorrectly includes all options including financial loans to suppliers, which is a business/economic objective rather than a social objective.

Option 4 -> Excludes environmentally friendly production methods which is a crucial social objective related to environmental responsibility and sustainability.

Hence, Option 1: (A), (C) and (D) only -> Social objectives of management focus on organization's responsibility toward society. (A) Environmental protection through eco-friendly production serves societal welfare, (C) Providing amenities like schools and creches improves employee and community welfare, and (D) Employment for economically weaker sections addresses social inequality. However, (B) providing financial loans to suppliers is an economic/operational objective aimed at business relationships and supply chain management, not a social objective -> correct
