Answer 1

Answer:

C. Principle of Periodicity

The "Principle of periodicity" is defined as a manager reviewing events and expectations regularly, and refining and redrawing the plan to keep it on track. This principle directly relates to the continuous review and adjustment of a plan over time. While other principles like primacy and pervasiveness are mentioned, they relate to planning's foundational role and its presence at all management levels, respectively.
