3. What is the main reason for establishing a baseline?
- A) To standardize operation
- B) For knowing the cost of services provided
- C) For roles and responsibility to be clear

A. D) For later comparison

Explanation

The main reason for establishing a baseline is for later comparison. A baseline serves as a reference point or a starting point against which future measurements or progress can be compared. By establishing a baseline, organizations can track and measure changes, improvements, or deviations from the initial state or performance. This helps in evaluating the effectiveness of strategies, identifying areas of improvement, and making informed decisions based on the comparison between the baseline and current or future measurements.
