(C) It ensures strict control at all levels.

(D) Provides relief to top management.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B) and (D) only

(A), (B) and (C) only

(A), (B), (C) and (D)

(B), (C) and (D) only

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> Includes (A), (B), and (D) which are all true advantages of decentralization - quick decisions, managerial development, and relief to top management.

Option 2 -> Incorrectly includes (C) about strict control, which contradicts the essence of decentralization that involves delegating authority rather than maintaining strict central control.

Option 3 -> Incorrectly includes (C) which describes centralization, not decentralization. Strict control at all levels is contrary to decentralized decision-making.

Option 4 -> Excludes (A) which is a key advantage of decentralization, and incorrectly includes (C) which represents centralized control.

Hence, Option 1: (A), (B) and (D) only -> Decentralization's advantages include: facilitating quick and quality decisions by empowering those closest to operations (A), developing middle and lower management through practical experience (B), and relieving top management to focus on strategic issues (D).
