Answer 1

Answer:

D. ii only

• The final step in the planning process is "Follow up/Appraisal of plans", not the formulation of derivative plans. Derivative plans are secondary plans that help achieve the main plan.

• The planning process begins with the "Establishment of objectives", not the establishment of planning premises. Planning premises are assumptions about the future that are used to formulate the plan.
