AThe church and the military ✓ Correct
BSchools and NGOs
CRevolutions and elections
DMarkets and families
Correct answer: (A) The church and the military — The church and the military shaped administrative theory and practice, so the answer is the church and the military.
Explanation
★The church and the military shaped administrative theory and practice, so the answer is the church and the military.
★The church developed early hierarchical organisation, with bishops and priests in graded ranks of authority.
★It managed lands, collected dues and kept detailed records, laying foundations for bureaucratic record-keeping.
★The military contributed a clear chain of command, discipline and unity of command to administrative thought.
★It also advanced strategic planning, logistics and the coordinated mobilisation of resources.
★Schools and NGOs are wrong; they are later or supporting actors, not the classic historical sources of administrative principles.
★Revolutions, elections, markets and families are wrong because they are not the institutions credited with shaping administrative organisation.
