Correct Answer: Controlling


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Controlling

Controlling is the management function that involves monitoring and evaluating the progress of work to ensure that it is on track towards achieving the desired goals. This function includes comparing actual performance against the planned performance to identify any deviations or variances. By comparing the two, managers can assess whether the activities and outcomes align with the established plans and standards. If there are any significant discrepancies, appropriate corrective actions can be taken to bring the performance back in line with the desired objectives. Therefore, controlling is the management function that involves comparing actual performance with planned performance.
