“One man’s control is the best in the world.” Who gave this statement?

Correct option is D

The statement,  “One man’s control is the best in the world”, was given by  (d) W.R. Basset.
This statement highlights a perspective on sole proprietorship, where a single owner makes all the decisions and manages the business entirely on their own.
W.R. Basset was an American management consultant who emphasized efficiency and cost reduction in business operations. This specific quote expresses the idea that an owner-manager, having a direct stake and total control, may provide the most effective and dedicated oversight, although modern management theory often emphasizes the benefits of delegation and structured management systems.
