Which option does not show the growth objective?

Correct answer: Giving respect to employee

Direct answer: D, giving respect to an employee, does not show the growth objective. Management objectives include organisational, personal and social objectives. Growth means the organisation becomes larger or stronger through expansion, higher capacity, more sales, or a larger market share. Step by step: opening a new branch expands the business; increasing market share means serving a larger part of the market; increasing production capacity means the organisation can produce more. All three show growth. Option A is correct as an example of expansion, not the answer to “does not show growth.” Option B shows growth because market reach increases. Option C shows growth because productive ability increases. Option D concerns respect, dignity and employee satisfaction, so it is a personal or employee-related objective, not organisational growth. Memory cue: branch, market and capacity point to growth; respect points to employee welfare.
