    C ACE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D BDF Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (a) We need a noun here to form the object of the verb DELEGATE. The sentence talks about how the CEO should distribute duties in an organisation so that he can focus on the long-term vision. OPERATIONS, TASKS and RESPONSIBILITIES will fit here. Thus, (a) is the right answer. OPERATES is a verb. TASKED is an adjective. RESPONSES (reactions) will not make contextual sense. The highlighted word OPERATIVE is an adjective.
