Answer: Option B

Explanation:  Centralization or centralization  is the mechanism by which an organization's operations, particularly those related to planning and policy-making, framing strategies and regulations, are consolidated within a specific geographic region unit and are handled by some for the individual employees within.

These employees are usually the top managers and executives working in the company and have authority to make decisions that can impact the company as a whole.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B.

Define treasury stock. Why do corporations acquire treasury stock?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Treasury stock, also known as treasury stock or repurchased stock, refers to shares issued prior to being repurchased by shareholders through the issuing company. As a result, the total number of shares outstanding on the open market is reduced.

Companies may use their shares to pay for investments in or acquisitions of competitors. These stocks may also be reissued to existing shareholders to reduce dilution from employee incentive compensation plans.

Stocks consist of shares in which the ownership of a company or business has been divided. One share represents a partial ownership interest in the company over the total number of shares.
