B) input controls.

Explanation:

Input-output control is used to control a company's or department's workflow. Input control can be applied to both services and manufacturing processes. When applied to manufacturing processes management changes the number of inputs to control total output.

In this case, input control is used in departments that perform services. Money acts as the input in this scenario, and the system deals with their budget and is expected to generate certain output according to the budget assigned. Each quarter the budget is adjusted according to the department's performance.
