The broadest set of plans developed as a guide for major policy setting and decision making is called a(n) a. management process. b. mission. c. strategic plan. d. objective. e. contingency plan.

option C

Explanation:

It is strategic to develop a broad set of plan to guide decision making and policies ,its about creating a formula to solve a particular problem from a broad set of variable and constants. It is not a management process because management process is an activity and such process is not defined as an activity this is why option A is not the right answer. Option B ' mission', a mission is a plan, a devised plan to achieve a purpose not a guide to policies ,option. B is also wrong .

Option D 'objective' , is not a plan ,it is a goal, the question explains ways to achieve an objective ,that is why option D is not the right answer., Option E, contingency , this is a back up plan ,should in case plan A fails ,we should proceed to plan B , . again this does not explain planned policies for decision making .

So there fore, option C best explains the question.
