The term "bureaucratic" refers to a highly structured, top-down approach with many levels of management, which is the system being replaced. The term "flat" refers to a decentralized structure with fewer levels of management and more broadly defined jobs, which is the new structure being implemented. Therefore, the best choice is B, bureaucratic to flat.
