Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Organizing Framework represents a causal sequence where inputs lead to processes, which in turn lead to outcomes. Thus, option A correctly describes the sequence depicted in the framework. Options B and E are incorrect because they do not account for the intermediate role played by processes in transforming inputs into outcomes. Options C and D are also incorrect because outcomes can feedback into both inputs and processes, potentially influencing future system behavior.
