Let us consider the other answer choices:
___________
"Feedback control" is a method of gathering information about performance deficiencies AFTER they occur.
____________________________________
"Stasis" is incorrect. Organizational stasis often results when there is too little conflict in the workplace and often burdens the manager with excessive responsibility.  "Stasis" is not a "mechanism of control" and does not involve "gathering information".

"Preemptive control" involves planning to deter or prevent anticipated—or even potentially anticipated outcomes or events [including—and especially—undesirable ones, such as fraud] from happening in the first place.
