Answer: Formal message-communication and writing. The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
An organizational characteristic is one of the things that will help define a business/company. Writing a formal message to communicate with others (employees or contacts) does not constitute a characteristic of the company.
The employee handbook sets forth rules and guidelines for the employees to follow and is a characteristic of the company and their company values. Termination is also considered a characteristic simply put because if someone does not follow the guidelines set forth they will face the consequences of losing their job. The culture of the workplace is a large organization characteristic as it sets the tone of the workplace and the employees.
