Correct Answer: The chain of command from top to bottom


Solution : The correct answer is (c) The chain of command from top to bottom.

The principle of scalar chain emphasizes the hierarchical structure and the chain of command within an organization. It establishes a clear line of authority and communication from the top level of management to the bottom level. The scalar chain ensures that there is a formal channel for information flow, decision-making, and coordination within the organization. This principle helps maintain order, clarity, and efficient communication within the organizational structure.
