Knapp · Answer 1

"c"

Explanation:

In hierarchical structure, their is a line of authority between the superiors and the subordinates. The lower staff are subjected to orders and instructions from the lower staff.

Power distance can be described as a way in which power is unequally distributed and the lower cadres believe that they are being unfairly treated due to the very wide gap between the top and the base of the ladder of authority

This is always high in an environment where hierarchical structure is practiced.
