Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (B), (A), (C), (D)

The correct logical sequence for the steps of organizing is:

  1. (B) Determining the key activities: This is the first step, often called "Identification and Division of Work," where the total work is broken down into specific tasks.

  2. (A) Grouping similar activities: This is the second step, known as "Departmentalization," where similar or related tasks are put together into departments or work units.

  3. (C) Assigning responsibilities: After forming departments, specific duties and tasks are assigned to individuals within those units, matching the work to their skills.

  4. (D) Coordinating relationships (Establishing Reporting Relationships): This is the final step, which involves defining who reports to whom and establishing the formal lines of authority and communication (superior-subordinate relationships) to ensure coordination.
