Question 334General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is C) They assess that the subordinates require more training, coaching, and experience in certain assignments. This is the correct answer because managers may legitimately choose not to delegate authority to subordinates if they feel the subordinates lack the necessary skills, experience, or training to properly handle the assigned tasks. Delegating authority requires trust that the subordinate can complete the task effectively, and if the manager believes the subordinate is not yet ready, it would be a responsible decision to withhold delegation until the subordinate is better prepared. The other options are incorrect because they suggest irrational or unjustified reasons for not delegating, whereas C reflects a reasonable, pragmatic assessment of the subordinates' capabilities.
