Correct Answer: Being answerable for outcomes and results

Solution : The correct answer is (b) Being answerable for outcomes and results

Accountability involves being responsible and answerable for the outcomes, results, or consequences of actions and decisions. It implies that individuals or entities are obligated to explain and justify their actions, decisions, and performance to relevant stakeholders based on established standards or expectations. It does not refer to a lack of responsibility, enhanced centralization, or employee empowerment, but rather being answerable for one's actions and outcomes.
