The administration of a program refers to

• A. the act of running or managing it
• B. the people who implement it
• C. the budget
• D. the results

Answer: (A)

The administration of a program refers to the act of running or managing it. It covers the decisions, coordination, and ongoing oversight that keep the program operating—planning activities, aligning resources, enforcing procedures, and monitoring progress. This is about the process of management, not who carries it out, the money available, or the outcomes produced. For example, organizing schedules, assigning tasks, and ensuring compliance all illustrate administration in action. The other ideas describe the people involved, the budget, or the results, which are separate aspects from the act of managing the program.
