Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Controlling is about ensuring that the right things happen, in the right way, and at the right time. This involves monitoring progress, identifying deviations from plans, and taking corrective action as necessary to ensure that goals are achieved. While setting goals, creating structures, setting directions, and allocating resources are all important aspects of management, they are not specifically related to controlling. Bringing people and material resources together in working combinations is more closely related to organizing.
