Match List I with List II and select the correct answer from the codes given below :

List I	List II
(a) Participation	(1) Value Decision
(b) Novel and Unstructured	(2) Group Decision
(c) Organizational Functioning	(3) Non-programmed Decision
(d) Expression of Preference	(4) Programmed Decision

Answer: B

The correct matching is a-2, b-3, c-4, d-1.

Participation of several members in reaching a choice makes a group decision (a-2).
Novel and unstructured problems, for which no rule exists, call for non-programmed decisions (b-3), in Herbert Simon's terms.
The routine, repetitive decisions of everyday organisational functioning are programmed decisions (c-4), handled by standing rules and procedures.
A decision that expresses a preference about ends is a value decision (d-1), as against a factual one.

Option A reverses the programmed and non-programmed pairings, and options C and D place participation elsewhere.
