This is because the organizational patterns mentioned in option D, i.e. decentralized, centralized, and regionalized, are the most commonly used organizational patterns around the world. Option A is incorrect because there is no "highly decentralized" pattern commonly used. Option B is incorrect because "highly centralized" is not a common pattern, and option C is incorrect because "highly regionalized" is not a common pattern either. Option E's pattern, i.e. "moderately decentralized", is not commonly used, making it an incorrect choice.
