Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A line organization is characterized by direct lines of authority flowing from the top of the organization down to lower levels. In this case, the CEO is at the top, followed by Laytana who manages the warehouse, and then the workers below her. There are no specialized functional or staff roles involved, and it is not a matrix organization where multiple lines of authority intersect.
