Which of the following is a primary responsibility of top-level management in an organisation?
Top-level management is responsible for formulating overall goals, policies and long-term strategy. It sets the direction of the enterprise and is accountable to owners. Day-to-day supervision and assigning tasks to workers belong to lower-level or supervisory management rather than the top level.

Explanation
Top management, comprising the board and chief executives, determines the organisation's mission, objectives and strategic plans. Supervising workers and assigning daily tasks are functions of lower or supervisory levels, so those options describe the wrong level.
