The correct answer is letter "C": be more "top-down".

Explanation:

Hierarchical organizations are vertical entities in which communication is given from one department to another according to the range employees have in the company. While being bureaucratic, these kinds of companies could have problems with speed in communication since one department cannot jump over another's hierarchy. This communication usually comes from the top (managers) to the bottom (regular employees) rank in the firm.
