Ans: C
A monitoring chart measures progress and can be used to evaluate whether a program is on schedule and within budget. Perhaps no other evaluation method is as perfectly suited to process evaluation as the monitoring chart. Impact or summative evaluation is concerned with the immediate impact of a program on a target group. Process or formative evaluation answers the question: Are we doing what we said we would do? Long-term outcome evaluation is where it is discovered if the changes had a lasting and real effect.
