Correct Answer: Granting decision-making authority

Solution : The correct answer is (c) Granting decision-making authority

Delegation involves assigning tasks and responsibilities to employees and granting them the necessary authority to make decisions within the scope of those tasks. This empowerment allows employees to exercise their judgment, make choices, and take ownership of their work. By providing decision-making authority, delegation promotes employee empowerment and encourages a sense of responsibility and involvement in the tasks they are assigned. It does not aim to reduce role clarity, increase centralization, or minimize innovation but rather to empower employees by granting them authority.
