B) Decentralization of authority

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described it can be said that the concept that is best illustrated in this scenario would be a decentralization of authority. This is the process in which authority is moved to the lower level managers within an organization. Which is what is happening in Chimbake, since they have given the store managers full authority to control and create the dessert flavors as they see fit.
