Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "B": bureaucratic organizations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bureaucratic organizations are characterized by having many hierarchical layers which makes their working process slow. There is little to no flexibility in bureaucratical firms and responsibilities are well-defined. Bureaucratic organizations' approach is to specialize employees in their duties having a narrow set of responsibilities assigned but might lead to workers' automation at work.
