Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The situation described fits the definition of a procedure, which is a specific set of sequential steps to respond to a problem. Option A (rule) is too narrow, as it implies a single, unchanging solution. Option B (broad guideline) is too vague, as it implies flexibility in the decision-making process, and option C (policy) is too general, as it usually refers to a set of overarching principles rather than specific steps.
