- B. Give only a definition of Organisational structures without using the case evidence.
- C. Treat gross and net profit as identical and ignore the effect on lenders.
- D. Choose the largest sales figure without checking costs, finance, or context.
Answer
The correct option is: Use organisational structure to judge labour productivity, lenders impact, and the business objective in Structures and communication.
Explanation
This option works because Use organisational structure to judge labour productivity, lenders impact, and the business objective in Structures and communication. The case evidence gives ?9,698, 543 units, and 39%, so the answer must explain the commercial effect rather than repeat a definition. The distractors are weaker because they confuse gross and net profit, miss the lenders, or ignore the business objective.
