Answer:
<h2>C. Clearly defined roles and a clear path for advancement</h2>
Explanation:
The benefits of a hierarchical structure is that each department has a specific function, that allows people to specialize in less wide range of skills. In a company, this specificity is important because it needs specialist in each department to ensure success.
Also, having hierarchical structure, there's a clear path from the bottom to the top, to the highest position in the company.
However, one of the cons a hierarchical structure has is that the bureaucracy increases, that is, projects needs to pass through a lot of people to reach the top of the company, which delay progress.
So, among the options, the best answer is option C.
