D.

A written explanation of a company's rules and regulations

The correct answer is A. A short explanation of a company's purpose

Explanation:

In business, the mission refers to the purpose of a company or the reason why the company or business exists; this mission or purpose is often summarized in a sentence or few sentences, and often includes the activities of the business or the relationship with customers. For example, the mission of a restaurant might be "To provide healthy and fresh food to customers". This concept is different from the vision because the vision refers to future goals; also it differs from the business values that are related to principles, and beliefs. Thus, a company mission statement is "a short explanation of a company's purpose".

C. A company's priorities principles and beliefs
