Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

The correct examples are proposed in answer C.

Upward organizational messages come from lower ranks to the upper levels: a club member proposes something at a meeting.

Downward messages from a higher level (secretary of the club) towards lower levels (club members without a position).

Lateral messages take place among members of the same rank (officers that share rank).

Gravepine is a form of informal communication that flows towards all levels of hierarchy. (News of the club's invitation are shared publicly)
