Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- Responsibility.

Accountability arises from Responsibility.

Responsibility is a key factor that gives rise to accountability.

Accountability implies being answerable for the final outcome. Once authority has been delegated and responsibility accepted, one cannot deny accountability. It cannot be delegated and flows upwards, i.e., a subordinate will be accountable to a superior for satisfactory performance of work. It indicates that the manager has to ensure the proper discharge of duties by his subordinates. It is generally enforced through regular feedback on the extent of work accomplished.
