This statement reflects taking responsibility.

• A. I haven't found it yet. I need to look harder.
• B. I did it.
• C. It was not my fault.
• D. I delegated it.

Answer: (A)

Owning a task and continuing to pursue a solution is taking responsibility. When someone says, I haven't found it yet. I need to look harder, they’re recognizing the goal is still unmet and they’re committing to take action to reach it. It shows accountability for the outcome and a plan to move forward, rather than blaming others or avoiding the task. The other statements don’t show that same ongoing ownership. Saying I did it indicates completion but not the continued effort to solve related or future issues. It wasn’t my fault shifts responsibility away, and I delegated it passes the task to someone else.
