Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → D, A, B, C
(D) Setting performance standards — First. Controlling begins by fixing standards, the targets against which work will be judged.
(A) Measurement of actual performance — Second. The work actually done is measured, in the same units as the standards.
(B) Analyzing deviations — Third. The actual performance is compared with the standard. The deviations, the gaps between the two, are studied to find their causes.
(C) Taking corrective action — Fourth. Once the cause is known, steps are taken to bring the work back on track. There is nothing to correct until the deviation has been found.
