The correct answer is option D. An organization in which most decision-making authority is held by upper-level management

Explanation:

A centralized organization is an organization in which the decisions are strictly made by the top level management. Lower lever employees do not have the authority to make any decisions for the business without a go ahead from the top level.

For example a clothing store with multiple branches has a head office that makes the decisions for all the stores instead of the branch managers.
