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.
