Middle-level management
Answer (c) Middle-level management
Explanation: The middle-level management is the transitional administration level of a progressive association that is subordinate to the executive manager and is liable for leading a team, line supervisors, or potentially ‘expert’ line directors. The middle level is indirectly answerable for junior staff execution and efficiency. Middle-level management is a transient management level since it serves as a link between both the top-level management and the lower-level management.
