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. In a centralized organizational structure, decision-making authority is held by the top management, allowing for faster decision-making due to fewer layers of approval and a clear chain of command.

However, the reason provided, is false. While centralization concentrates decision-making at the top, it doesn't necessarily ensure a streamlined process. A streamlined process involves efficient and optimized workflows, which may or may not be present in a centralized structure. The reason oversimplifies the relationship between centralization and streamlined processes.
