C Correct answer
Explanation

Matrix structure is characterized by dual reporting - each employee reports to both a functional manager (based on expertise/skills) and a project or group manager (based on current project assignment). This creates a grid-like structure that allows flexibility in resource allocation. SBU is a separate business unit, while departmentation by customer or territory are single-reporting structures.
