✅ Correct Option: 4

Taylor's principle of Science, Not Rule of Thumb replaces the trial and error (rule of thumb) approach with scientific enquiry. It holds that there is only one best method to maximise efficiency (B), which is developed by investigating traditional methods through work-study (C) and then standardising the method (D). Statement A describes the rule of thumb itself, which the principle rejects. Hence B, C and D only.
