Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario describes the authority to report, where an individual has the ability to make decisions but is required to report back to their supervisor afterward. They are not simply informing their supervisor of the action taken or recommending a course of action, but rather reporting on the action taken. Option A, authority to inform, suggests that the individual is sharing information with their supervisor but not necessarily making decisions. Option B, authority to recommend, suggests that the individual is suggesting a course of action to their supervisor but not necessarily carrying it out themselves. Option D, full authority, does not accurately describe the requirement to discuss actions with a supervisor afterward.
