Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Concerned with a particular purpose only.
Ad hoc is a Latin phrase meaning "for this": formed or done for one particular purpose only, as the need arises, not as a permanent arrangement. An ad hoc committee is set up to study one project and is dissolved when its work is done.
