(c) Management as a multidimensional activity

Answer (b) Different levels in the organisation
Explanation: Responsibility is the commitment of a subordinate to appropriately perform the appointed duty.

As the responsibilities and authorities progress to a higher level, they give rise to different levels in the organisation.
