If a manager decides using a principle but modifies it because technology is changing, which nature is shown?

Correct answer: Adaptive flexibility

The governing idea is flexibility in applying management principles. A principle may remain useful while the method of applying it changes because technology, markets, work processes, employee skills, or customer expectations have changed. For example, a coordination practice designed for manual work may need modification when digital systems introduce faster information sharing. Option A is correct because the manager preserves the underlying purpose but adapts the application to a new context. Option B contradicts the flexible nature of principles. Option C is too extreme: modification does not make a principle useless. Option D is also wrong because the decision remains principle-based rather than being a random personal guess.
