Identify the correct example(s) for "corrective action" that can be undertaken by the company during the controlling process.

(A) Improve the physical conditions of work, if working conditions are not good.

(B) Replace or repair the existing machines, in case of poor performance by the salesperson.

(C) Do not change the quality specifications for the material used, if the material is defective.

(D) Use outdated technology for producing the good, if it's advanced version is already available in the market.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) only

The correct answer is option 4- (A) only.

(A) Improve the physical conditions of work, if working conditions are not good- This is a corrective measure aimed at addressing poor working conditions to improve performance and employee well-being.

(B) Replace or repair the existing machines, in case of poor performance by the salesperson-  Incorrect corrective action. If the salesperson is underperforming, fixing machines won’t address the root cause. This action doesn’t logically correct the identified problem. 

(C) Do not change the quality specifications for the material used, if the material is defective- This is the opposite of corrective action- ignoring or refusing to fix a quality issue doesn’t solve the problem. 

(D) Use outdated technology for producing the good, if it's advanced version is already available in the market- This is not a corrective action; it's a regressive step, likely to worsen performance.
