Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The grapevine is a type of informal communication that occurs horizontally between employees, rather than through formal channels such as upward or downward communication. The grapevine is often used to build social bonds and morale among employees, providing emotional support and a sense of teamwork. Therefore, the correct answer is C - horizontal communication. Written communication is not always informal and can occur through both formal and informal channels, so option D is incorrect. Downward communication refers to communication from superiors to subordinates, while upward communication refers to communication from subordinates to superiors, neither of which includes the grapevine, so options A and B are also incorrect.
