Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Tactical action plans are developed at the division or department level. They specify the activities that must be performed, when they must be completed, and the resources a division or department will need to complete the portions of the strategic action plan under its purview. In general, tactical action plans cover a period of one to two years.

Line managers and employees directly responsible for individual tasks or activities are the ones who create operational action plans. These plans tend to be narrowly focused on resources, methods, time lines, and quality control issues for a particular kind of operation. In general, the time frame for operational action plans is shorter than for tactical action plans.
