Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A procedure is a set of interrelated sequential steps designed to respond to a structured problem. It provides specific and detailed instructions for how to complete a task, and is typically used for repetitive or routine tasks. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because it describes a decision-making process, not a procedure. Option B is incorrect because a procedure typically provides specific guidelines and limits the manager's decision-making authority. Option C is partially correct, but does not capture the sequential nature of a procedure.
