Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question specifically mentions the disadvantage of deciding how much decision-making authority to centralize or decentralize, which is a key feature of the multidivisional structure. Therefore, B is the best choice. The other structures mentioned (matrix, product division, and functional) may have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they are not directly related to the centralization or decentralization of decision-making authority.
