Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Incorrectly matches "Involves looking ahead" with "Reduces risk of uncertainty" instead of "Futuristic", and mismatches other pairs.
Option 2 -> Correctly matches: (A) Looking ahead is Futuristic (III), (B) Anticipating changes Reduces uncertainty (I), (C) Thinking activity is Mental exercise (II), (D) New ideas are Innovative (IV).
Option 3 -> Incorrectly matches "Involves looking ahead" with "Reduces risk" and "Encourages new ideas" with "Futuristic", which is illogical.
Option 4 -> Incorrectly matches "Anticipate changes" with "Innovative" and "Encourages new ideas" with "Mental exercise", which reverses the logical connections.
Hence, Option 2 -> (A) "Involves looking ahead" naturally corresponds to (III) "Futuristic"; (B) "Anticipate changes" helps (I) "Reduces the risk of uncertainty"; (C) "Activity of thinking rather than doing" is clearly (II) "Mental exercise"; and (D) "Encourages new ideas" directly relates to (IV) "Innovative". This matching logically aligns each planning characteristic with its corresponding feature. -> correct
