A. Strategic business units (SBUs)
B. Geographical divisional structure
C. Divisional structure
D. Product divisional structure
E. Matrix structure
Answer
B. Geographical divisional structure
Explanation:
The correct answer is B because this organizational structure divides the company based on geographic regions.
