They are not readymade solutions, but rather general guidelines to action and decision making. They are flexible and can be adapted and modified by practicing managers as per the demands of different situations. The principles of management are mainly behavioral in nature as they aim to influence complex human behavior. They also establish cause and effect relationships, intending to be used in similar situations. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.</p></div><div style='margin-top: 15px;color:#808080 !important;font-size:15px !important;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;color: #808080 !important;' class='rpt_btn_inline rpt_btn_inline_858172' data_q_id='858172' >Report a problem</div><div class='report_ques_dv report_ques_dv_858172'><textarea class='qprblm_858172' placeholder='Please tell us more about the issue (at least 5-6 words) for quick resolution' style='width:100%;border-radius:4px;border-color:transparent;background-color:#F4F4F4;padding:10px;font-size:15px !important;padding-left:15px;'></textarea><div style='text-align:right;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;'>\r                                <button class='rpt_inqsn_cncl'  data_q_id='858172'  style='padding:5px;margin-right:20px;display: inline-block;padding: 2px 12px;margin-bottom: 0;font-size: 14px !important;font-weight: normal;line-height: 1.428571429;text-align: center;white-space: nowrap;vertical-align: middle;cursor: pointer;border: 1px solid transparent;border-radius: 4px;-webkit-user-select: none;-moz-user-select: none;-ms-user-select: none;-o-user-select: none;user-select: none;background-color:transparent;color:#5E5E5E !important;border:1px solid #D3D3D3;min-width:110px;'>Cancel</button>\r                                \r                                <button class='rpt_inqsn_save'  data_q_id='858172' style='padding:5px;display: inline-block;padding: 2px 12px;margin-bottom: 0;font-size: 14px !important;font-weight: normal;line-height: 1.428571429;text-align: center;white-space: nowrap;vertical-align: middle;cursor: pointer;border: 1px solid transparent;border-radius: 4px;-webkit-user-select: none;-moz-user-select: none;-ms-user-select: none;-o-user-select: none;user-select: none;color:white !important;background-color:#193f68;min-width:110px;'>Report</button></div></div></div><div style='text-align: center;'><div class='btn btn-blue sol_qsn_cntnt sol_qsn_cntnt_858172' onclick='ShowSolutionContentPage(858172,'SingleChoice',0,'b'); '>View Solution</div></div></div>"
