B1, 2 and 4
C1, 2, 3 and 4
D2 and 4
Correct answer: (A) 2, 3 and 4 — Items 2, 3 and 4 are features of scientific management, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Items 2, 3 and 4 are features of scientific management, so that is the answer.
★Functional foremanship is one of Taylor's key devices.
★Separation of planning and execution is another core feature.
★The differential piecework plan is a third feature.
★Item 1 is more an idea of administrative theory than of Taylor.
★So the universal single-science claim is not a feature of scientific management.
★Thus the answer is items 2, 3 and 4.
