Solution

The correct option is A Unity of Command
Unity of command states that a subordinate should receive order and be responsible to only one boss. This ensures that each employee gets command only from one superior and is accountable to the same. This does not create confusion on whom to report and where are the commands coming from. This ensures effective functioning of subordinates in the organisation.
