Match the concept (List I) with its description (List II). List I: (P) Authority, (Q) Responsibility, (R) Accountability, (S) Decentralisation. List II: (1) Obligation to perform the assigned duty, (2) Systematic dispersal of decision-making power to lower levels throughout the organisation, (3) Right to give orders and take decisions, (4) Answerability for the outcome of the work done.

The correct matching is authority with the right to give orders and decide, responsibility with the obligation to perform assigned duty, accountability with answerability for outcomes, and decentralisation with systematic dispersal of decision-making power to lower levels.
