Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Matches Authority with "oversee work" and Accountability with "right to command" - incorrect fundamental definitions.
Option 2 -> Matches Authority with "oversee work" and Accountability with "share tasks" - misaligns basic management concepts.
Option 3 -> Authority: Right to command, Accountability: Obligation to perform, Delegation: Process to share tasks, Supervision: Oversee work - correctly aligns all management concepts.
Option 4 -> Matches Authority with "oversee work" and Supervision with "right to command" - reverses the definitions of authority and supervision.
Hence, Option 3: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (I) -> Authority is the legitimate right to command and make decisions (II). Accountability is the obligation to perform assigned responsibilities and answer for outcomes (IV). Delegation is the systematic process of assigning tasks and authority to subordinates (III). Supervision involves overseeing and monitoring the work of others (I). This matching correctly reflects the fundamental principles of organizational management and delegation. -> correct
