Question

Consider the following related to approaches of organisation and select correct ones:
A. Authoritative : Equal distribution of power
B. Participative approach : Unequal distribution of power
C. Directive approach : Objectives of organisation are chosen by specialists outside the target group
D. Non-directive approach : Objectives chosen solely by the people
E. Democratic approach : Decisions are made by leader of the organisation without followers participation

• A. C, D only
• B. A, B, C, D only
• C. D, E only
• D. A, B, C only

Hint:

In extension, "Directive" = Top-Down (Expert driven), while "Non-Directive" = Bottom-Up (People driven). Modern extension favors Participative and Non-Directive approaches for sustainability.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Different organizational and extension approaches define how power is shared and how decisions are made between leaders/specialists and the community/target group.

Step 1: Analyze incorrect matches.
* A (Authoritative): Should be unequal distribution (power at the top). * B (Participative): Should be equal/shared distribution. * E (Democratic): Should involve high follower participation in decision-making.

Step 2: Analyze correct matches.
* C (Directive): This is a top-down approach where experts/specialists set the goals for the group. This is correctly matched. * D (Non-directive): This is a bottom-up approach where the community or people identify their own needs and set their own objectives. This is correctly matched.

Step 3: Conclusion.
Only statements C and D describe their respective approaches accurately.
