Yanıt Açıklaması:

Organizations require material, physical and economic means to carry out their activities and perform their duties. This is because the expenses incurred to run and fund daily work, activities and fixed costs such as personal salaries and infrastructural expenditures are all to be met by the organization itself. That’s why organizations have their own budgets generated and set with the contributions of the members. Organizations have two basic kinds of budgets. Budgets that depend on the yearly contributions of the members as well as on other regular revenues and incomes of the organizations are mostly called regular budgets. These budgets towards planned or projected activities and expenditures of relevant bodies and organs of the organizations are in principle approved and audited by the plenary bodies. As a huge difference in between financial means and contributions of the members may cause an imbalance among members for the advantage and benefit of influential ones, organizations usually set ceiling and minimum rates so that no member disproportionally finances, and thus seeks to influence, the organization. As States that do not pay their contributions timely may pose important financial problems, organizations reserve the right to impose sanctions including the suspension of the voting right. Yet there are cases where an influential State is but only kindly requested to pay its huge amount of arrears whereas a weak State is denied its voting right due to a relatively much smaller amount of yearly contribution. Organizations may also need additional financial means for unusual or extraordinary activities and expenditures. Ad hoc budgets are raised in such cases with the contributions of willing members. There are members who contribute to ad hoc, as well as regular, budgets in order to increase their respective influences within and outside the organization. Likewise, members sometimes contribute to ad hoc budgets with very small and even symbolic amounts just to demonstrate their positions and alignments. In short, budgeting systems of organizations are too not of mere economic and financial character but also have political dimensions, repercussions and effects. All statements in the answer choices are correct, so the correct answer is E.
