Correct Answer: Assertion is true, but the reason is false.


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Assertion is true, but the reason is false.

The assertion is true. An organization's structure can indeed impact its flexibility and adaptability. Different structures may facilitate or hinder an organization's ability to respond and adapt to changes in the internal or external environment.

The reason is false. Centralized organizations, characterized by a concentration of decision-making authority at the top of the hierarchy, tend to be less adaptable to changes. On the other hand, decentralized organizations often exhibit greater adaptability and flexibility because decision-making is dispersed and can occur closer to where the information and action are needed.
