What problem may arise if guidelines are not made to implement a policy?

Correct answer: Officials may implement the policy differently and unequally

Correct answer: A. Guidelines translate a broad policy into clearer procedures: who must act, what steps must be followed, which documents or standards apply, and how decisions should be recorded. Without them, different officials or departments may interpret the same policy differently. This can produce unequal treatment, confusion, delay, and complaints from citizens. A is correct because implementation needs common rules for consistency and fairness. B is wrong because absence of guidance usually creates uncertainty, not clarity. C is wrong because Parliament does not automatically make a law merely because administrative guidelines are missing. D is wrong because courts do not campaign; they adjudicate legal disputes. Memory cue: a policy gives direction, while guidelines help apply it uniformly.
