✅ Correct Option: 4

Planning is prescriptive (lays down what to do) while controlling is evaluative (assesses what was done), so A-(III). Planning looks ahead; controlling looks back at past performance, so B-(IV). When planning is based on facts, controlling becomes easier and more effective, so C-(I). Planning seeks consistent, articulated programmes while controlling compels events to conform to plans, so D-(II). Hence A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
