Explanation:

The correct answer is option (2) : Achieve efficiency

The management of IOTA Ltd aims to ''Achieve efficiency."

The passage mentions that the management aims to reduce costs and increase productivity, which are indicators of achieving efficiency in the organization's operations.

Efficiency means doing the task correctly and with minimum cost. There is a kind of cost-benefit analysis involved and the relationship between inputs and outputs. If by using less resources (i.e., the inputs) more benefits are derived (i.e., the outputs) then efficiency has increased. Efficiency is also increased when for the same benefit or outputs, fewer resources are used and less costs are incurred.
