only 1

Answer

Explanation

Let us evaluate the defining characteristics of circular letters in professional environments:

Statement 1 is correct: By definition, a circular letter is a mass correspondence tool designed to distribute uniform information to a broad group of people simultaneously .

Statement 2 is incorrect: Circulars use standardized, uniform text to ensure consistency across recipients, making customized content incorrect .

Statement 3 is incorrect: Personal appraisals and salary increases contain confidential, individual financial information, which requires private, direct messaging rather than public mass circulars .

Statement 4 is incorrect: Mass printing and distributing standardized text to a group is far more cost-effective than preparing unique, personalized letters for each individual recipient.

Since only statement 1 is correct, option (d) is the required choice.

Circular correspondence relies on standardized, uniform text to distribute information efficiently to groups, while private matters like appraisals require confidential individual handling.

Answer: (d).
