Why each option

An organizational structure where project resources report to both a project manager and a functional manager is known as a Matrix organization.

AMatrixCorrect

A Matrix organizational structure is characterized by dual reporting relationships, where team members report to both a project manager for project-specific work and a functional manager for administrative and disciplinary matters. This structure balances functional expertise with project focus, allowing for shared resources across multiple projects.

BAd hoc

An Ad hoc organizational structure refers to a temporary, flexible structure formed for a specific, often short-term purpose, and does not typically involve formal dual reporting to project and functional managers.

CFunctional

A Functional organizational structure groups employees by specialized departments where resources report solely to a functional manager, with project work often managed within functional silos.

DProjectized

A Projectized organizational structure organizes teams around specific projects, with project team members reporting exclusively to the project manager, who has full authority over the project and its resources.
