This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2016 Paper 1 Question Paper (10-Jul-2016)
The correct answer is

Draws on diverse yet predictable data resources to aggregate and summarize data.

Organisational information systems are usually grouped into transaction processing systems (TPS), management information systems (MIS) and decision support systems (DSS), each with its own typical characteristics.

An MIS serves middle managers with routine, scheduled reports. It takes data from the TPS and other internal sources, which are diverse but predictable, and aggregates and summarises them into periodic and exception reports. This matches the statement about drawing on diverse yet predictable data resources to aggregate and summarize data.

Guidance in identifying problems, finding and evaluating alternative solutions and comparing alternatives is the role of a DSS, which supports semi-structured decisions with models and what-if analysis.

A high-volume, data-capture focus describes a TPS, which records the day-to-day business transactions.

Efficiency of data movement and processing and interfacing different TPS is also a TPS-level (operational) goal, not the reporting goal of an MIS.

Draws on diverse yet predictable data resources to aggregate and summarize data. option is correct.
