Reasoning: Planning provides standards against which actual performance is compared under controlling.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1

Without planning there is no predetermined understanding of the desired performance. Planning seeks consistent, integrated and articulated programmes while controlling seeks to compel events to conform to plans.
