Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Option C : Span of managers/management.

Explanation:

The Span of Management refers to the amount of subordinates that a superior may effectively supervise. Simply said, the span of management refers to a manager who has a group of subordinates who report directly to him.

• The horizontal layers of the organisation structure are related to the span of management. Management spans a large and limited range.

• With a broader spread, there will be fewer hierarchical levels, resulting in a flatter organisational structure.

• The hierarchical layers rise as the span narrows, hence the organisational structure will be tall.
