Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A lack of participation error refers to a situation where key persons or stakeholders are not included in the strategic planning process. This can lead to a lack of buy-in and commitment to the plan, ultimately resulting in failure to implement it effectively. The other options do not directly relate to this error.
