Answer 1

Answer: Line organization

                                 

Explanation: In simple words, it refers to the organisation in which the authority flows from top to the bottom in a straight line. A number of organisations operating at a medium level follow such structure due to its simplicity and ease to implement.

The flow of authority makes the transfer of information and messages to flow in the vertical manner which makes accountability of individuals easy in case of any default.
