The three dimensions of organizational structure that interact with the four design decisions are formalization, centralization, and complexity. These dimensions determine the degree of standardization, hierarchy, and specialization within an organization, which can affect how the design decisions are implemented. Division of labor, delegation of authority, departmentalization, and span of control are aspects of organizational structure that are influenced by the three dimensions. However, they are not the three dimensions themselves. Therefore, option A is the best choice. Option B includes some aspects of organizational structure but is not a comprehensive list of the three dimensions. Option C is partially correct but does not include formalization as a dimension. Option D is also partially correct, but it does not include complexity as a dimension.
