B Correct answer
Explanation

Staffing involves placing the right people in the right positions, while control requires measuring performance and taking corrective action. Control depends on having properly staffed positions to execute plans effectively. While planning and control are also related, staffing and control have a more direct dependency since you can't control performance without qualified personnel.
