Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The minutes of a meeting are a formal record of the proceedings, decisions made, and actions to be taken. They are usually taken by a designated person and are distributed to all participants of the meeting as a permanent record. Choice A, a progress report, would summarize the status of a project or initiative, not the proceedings of a specific meeting. Choice B, an analytical report, would analyze a specific problem or issue, not the proceedings of a specific meeting. Choice C, a summary, would provide a brief overview of the main points discussed in a meeting, but would not include all the details and decisions made as in the minutes.
