C1, 2 and 4 ✓ Correct
D1, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (C) 1, 2 and 4 — Items 1, 2 and 4 are Fayol's principles, so the answer is 1, 2 and 4.
Explanation
★Items 1, 2 and 4 are Fayol's principles, so the answer is 1, 2 and 4.
★Unity of command is one of Fayol's fourteen principles.
★The gang plank is Fayol's idea for direct lateral communication.
★The scalar chain is Fayol's line of authority from top to bottom.
★Item 3 is wrong, because span of control was developed by Ian Hamilton in 1922.
★Span of control concerns how many subordinates a boss can directly manage.
★So only span of control is not Fayol's principle.
