Kevin's subordinates are highly trained and perform similar tasks, which means he can have a larger span of management. In contrast, Brittany's subordinates are spread over two locations, which could make it difficult for her to have unity of command, but this isn't one of the options. Nichole's situation is not given in the scenario, so we can't make any assumptions about her span of management. The option about work specialization isn't relevant to the scenario.
