B.

a Science

C.

both Art and Science

neither Art nor Science

Correct option is C


Management is considered both an Art and a Science. It is a Science because it is based on:
· Systematic body of knowledge
· Principles and theories developed through observation and experimentation
· Cause-and-effect relationships (e.g., motivation, leadership, planning)
At the same time, it is also an Art because:
· It requires creativity, skill, intuition, and personal judgment
· Managers need to apply knowledge in real-life situations
· Every manager uses unique styles and techniques to get work done
Thus, management combines scientific principles with personal skill and experience.
Therefore, the correct answer is (c) both Art and Science.
